Although the exact cause of the fire remains unknown, investigations are underway to determine the origin of the inferno, as stated by Adenta Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) Ebenezer Doku.
"Somewhere around 7:50 pm, I was still in the office when I had a call that the Adenta Community Basic School was on fire, so I rushed there and when I got there, the Fire Service had already quenched the fire and when I got close, I realised the headteacher’s office was broken into and the fridge moved and there was smoke but when I asked the security man, he said he also came for night duties and saw the fridge downstairs and so as of now, we don’t know whether it was the same person who moved the fridge that set the place ablaze," MCE Doku told Citi News.
