A shoemaker living near the studio, Oneday Oneday, spoke to GhanaWeekend about how the fire ravaged the building on Sunday, March 3, 2024.

While clarifying that the building was primarily used as a recording studio for musicians and not Kojo Antwi’s residence, the eyewitness recounted:

“I wasn’t here when it started, but I got a call saying the place was burning. The Whole residents came out in their numbers to help…By the time I arrived, the whole building was engulfed in flames.”

“We immediately called the fire service, and they responded quickly. There were about 3 or 4 firefighters…They fought the fire for over six hours before finally extinguishing it. The fire started around 5 pm Sunday and till midnight Monday”

Oneday Oneday also stated that Kojo Antwi arrived only after the fire had been contained.
