The AMA mayor, Mohammed Nii Adjei promised a crackdown on the squatters after TV3’s exposé detailing how the slum there have been turned into a hub for sex trade.
On the second phase of clearing the capital city of illegal structures, the Assembly moved in under security protection to demolish these structures at the Nkrumah Circle near the VIP transport yard.
