Late last night, Ghanaian Highlife virtuoso, Kojo Antwi, had his Kwashieman luxury mansion in flames.
A video from the devasting scene that has surfaced on social media shows firefighters doing their best to quench the aggressive fire.
However, despite the efforts of the diligent firefighters, a lot of expensive properties were destroyed by the fire.
The short clip from the incident that has since gone viral on social media has elicited emphatic reactions from Ghanaians both at home and abroad.
It is strongly believed that a lot of fancy high lavish musical pieces of equipment and instruments which were kept in the house were also all destroyed by the fire.
