At least three people were killed and up to 14 others were feared dead after they were trapped on board a boat during a fire at Ghana's main port of Tema today.
"At least three are confirmed dead because we have seen the bodies," Ports Minister Ameyaw Akumfi told journalists.
Ben Owusu-Mensah, director-general of the Ghana Ports and Harbour Authority, said he believed 17 people had been trapped on the vessel in total and there was no chance any of them had survived.
