A provision shop dealer, Mary Allah, has perished in an inferno that engulfed her residence in Adelakome, a suburb of Aflao in the Ketu South Municipality of the Volta Region.<\/p>\n

The incident that occurred at about midnight on Monday left many residents in shock, as attempts to rescue the deceased from the fire proved futile.<\/p>\n

Some alleged that the tragic incident might have been executed by an assailant who succeeded this time after four attempts.<\/p>\n

The brother of the deceased, Doe Allah, said they smelled mischief as they traced a substance suspected to be a petroleum product around the window and the door areas of the victim\u2019s room, \u201ctrapping her inside.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey poured petrol on the door, which was burning outside but not inside. This is the fifth time my sister\u2019s property has been set ablaze,\u201d he recounts.<\/p>\n

The Assembly Member for Avoeme West Electoral Area, Faustina Kwawu, expressed dismay at the unfortunate incident, believing the police would help unravel the misery behind it.<\/p>\n

\u201d I\u2019m short of words because we did not expect this to reach this level. I believe that with the help of the police, the suspects will be arrested\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n

She added that due to the recurrence of the bizarre incident, a Community Watch Dog would be set up to prevent further crimes in the electoral area.<\/p>\n

In June 2025, the deceased called for security in the area after her provision shop was broken into, set ablaze, and an undisclosed amount of money was stolen.<\/p>\n

The body of the deceased has been deposited at the Ketu South Municipal Hospital mortuary as the Aflao Police Command begins a full-scale investigation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
