VIDEO: “I Didn’t See My Daughter Again” — Mother Recounts Heartbreaking Final Moments Before Dansoman Fire
A grieving mother has shared the heartbreaking final moments she spent with her 8-year-old daughter, Priscilla, before the devastating Dansoman Market fire stole the young girl’s life in the early hours of Wednesday.
Still shaken and visibly shattered, she struggled to piece together the ordinary evening that turned into a nightmare, one she says she can never wake up from.
What began as a simple night at home filled with play, joy, and warmth would tragically become their last together.

“I was with her in the evening, playing and watching television,” she recalled, her voice trembling under the weight of her grief.
Priscilla, full of life and innocence, had asked her mother for kenkey and fish for dinner.
“She asked to eat kenkey and fish, and I said okay. I gave her money to buy the kenkey… I even told her I would eat gari, so she should buy soup for me on her way back,” she said.
The little girl returned home moments later, settled quietly with her food, and ate. Her mother lovingly urged her to finish up and go to bed since she had school early the next morning.
“After she went to bed, I stepped out to buy food. By then, she was asleep, so I didn’t inform her,” she narrated, tears rolling uncontrollably.
While she was at the food vendor’s stand, a friend called frantically to alert her about a fire breaking out.
“She called saying, ‘Yaa, there is fire in my shed,’ and I responded, ‘Yei, my daughter… my daughter is there.’ That was all. I didn’t see my daughter again,” she wailed, struggling to steady herself.
The Dansoman Market fire swept rapidly through several wooden structures, trapping Priscilla inside one of the kiosks where she had been sleeping. Firefighters battled the blaze for hours but could not reach the child in time.
Her charred remains were later retrieved and handed over to the police as investigations began into what sparked the inferno.
The community has been left in deep mourning, with neighbours, traders, and local leaders lamenting how a simple market fire could extinguish such a young, promising life.
As authorities work to unravel the cause of the blaze, the mother says she is living through a pain no parent should ever bear.
Her last memory is of her daughter smiling, eating her favourite food, completely unaware that fate was drawing its curtain.
