The woman Nana Ago Prah and her three children all perished in the early hours of Friday December 9, when their home was razed down by fire in Helsinki, Finland.

The father and husband of the victims, John Owusu, who is also a board member of the Ghana Union Finland, was at work at the time of the incident. It is believed that the fire started from the sauna in their sixth-floor apartment and that the victims had died out of suffocation.

A neighbour had called the police after noticing the fire in the early morning before 3am, after which fire and rescue services reached the scene eleven minutes after they were called but were able to extinguish the fire quickly. However, resuscitation attempts to save the lives of Nana and her 3 children failed.
