The District Chief Executive of the North Gonja District Sorku Yahuza told Citi News that the fire was caused when some chainsaw operators attempted to pour some fuel from a bigger container to a smaller one.
“There were some chainsaw operators who were preparing for the days activities. So they were transferring fuel from a bigger barrel into a small container for easy transportation and as a result the pot in which they were doing some cooking caught fire as a result of a contact. And that’s how the whole house caught fire,” he said.
The disaster, he said, has thrown the whole town into a state of shock adding that “we are very devastated in Daboya.”
