Fire destroys another radio station in the Upper East Region
Nabina Radio, a community radio station in the
Kasena-Nankana East District, Upper East, was at
the weekend razed by fire destroying all studio
equipment.

The station’s transmission goes beyond the
district to some parts of the Northern Region and
mostly promotes agricultural issues and various
contemporary national matters.

This brings to two the number of radio stations
that had been gutted by fire, the first one being
Radio A-One in Bolgatanga about three months ago.

Narrating the incident, the head of programmes at
the station, Mr Alfred Kutagera, said the fire
started at about 0945 hours on Saturday morning
when the block experienced power fluctuation and
efforts to put it out with fire extinguishers
proved futile.

He said the Ghana National Fire Service was
contacted but when the personnel arrived the fire
had spread to other parts of the building.

The Upper East Regional Minister, Mr Mark Woyongo
who visited the scene, expressed shock at the
incident and appealed to management of the station
to take inventory of the lost items so that the
station could be assisted for transmission to
resume.
