A statement issued by the legislator read:

Fire Guts Bachongsa Teachers Quarters –

Earlier today I got a call from my branch executives in Bachongsa and later, Danda, the contractor who renovated the Bachongsa teachers quarters informing me that the teachers’ quarters recently renovated and handed over was in flames.

Though fire tenders arrived from both Sandema and Fumbisi, and the firemen and women did their best, the damage was severe. Thankfully no life was lost and no injuries sustained by the teachers, students, or community members in the vicinity. I thank God almighty for that.

I thank the Fire Service for their swift intervention, given the distances from both Fumbisi and Sandema.

I will dispatch a team to visit and assess the damage as I await an official report from the District Director of Education and the Ghana Fire Service.

Very unfortunate, but I will do my best as always.

Dr. Clement Apaak
M.P, Builsa South
