Nana Ago and her 3 children perished in a fire outbreak in Finland

I couldn’t speak for hours – Man who lost wife and 3 children narrates ordeal
John Kwame Atta Owusu, a husband and father of a
Ghanaian woman and her three children, who
perished in a fire outbreak in Finland, says he
went completely dumb for 3 hours after hearing the
devastating news.

His wife Nana Ago Prah and her three children all
perished in the early hours of Friday, December 9,
2016, when their home was razed down by fire which
is believed to have started from the sauna in
their sixth floor apartment.

John Owusu, who is also a board member of the
Ghana Union Finland, was at work at the time of
the tragic incident.

In an exclusive interview with 3news.com, the
devastated husband and father recalled the moment
he received the dreadful news about his family’s
demise.

“I was at work at dawn and my immediate boss I
report to came with a smiling face and asked me to
come with him for a conversation. “I didn’t
know exactly what he wanted to talk about but I
followed him all the same but to my surprise, we
went to a different room.

“Upon reaching the room, I saw two police
officers who asked me to sit and immediately
started asking me questions related to my
residential address which they asked me to confirm
if it was correct.

“They then told me that my wife and children had
all been burnt to death in a fire outbreak and
after hearing that, I wasn’t able to speak for
the next three hours.”

Kwame Atta Owusu told 3news.com that two different
security agencies in Finland have been tasked to
conduct investigations into the cause of the
fire.
