Jackie Appiah's mansion not gutted by fire - Fire Service denied reports
The Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) has clarified that the report circulating on social media, indicating that renowned Ghanaian actress Jackie Appiah's mansion in Trassaco has been burned, is false information.
On Friday night, a video went viral on social media showing a house engulfed in flames. According to reports, the house belonged to actress Jackie Appiah, and other sources seemed to confirm that.
However, clarifying the matter early Saturday morning on social media, Assistant Divisional Officer Grade One (ADO1), Alex King Nartey, at the Public Affairs Department of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), revealed that the burnt house belongs to Jackie Appiah's manager, Madam Samira, and not Jackie Appiah. He emphasized that only a portion of the house was affected by fire.
“After confirming from our responding crew, the affected house belongs to Madam Samira, Jackie Appiah’s manager, and it was the cinema room of the house that got affected by the fire,” he noted.
The Greater Accra Region was hit hardest by fires in the first half of 2024, with 708 incidents reported between January and June, according to the Ghana National Fire Service. The Ashanti Region followed closely with 661 cases.
Despite the alarming number of fires, the fire service managed to save over GHC 60 million worth of property from destruction during that same period.
