I'm sure they gave them plenty notice to vacate the area but I'm guessing they refused to comply. The entire city of Accra and the surrounding cities needs clean up

This mentality of siding with wrong doing slow down development. Aren't you as a journalist knew of the construction work ongoing in that enclave? Have you ever dare to visit these sites to admonish them?. We pay huge money go sit inside aeroplanes to go and see cities that were once ghettos. Some years to come when you passed there it will amaze you how beautiful it had become. Support the state to succeed and leave the politicians alone

The big question is are the victims not not part of others who had heed to the notice to relocate their containers or shops. They were informed several times even there days ago. So what are we trying to cut across? The victims are part of disobedient and politically blind people. Most of the people had their containers relocated since last and as at February,2026. Never blame the road contractor or anything authority.

It is always the same thing, they always claiming they weren't given adequate notice. When you look into it, you will find they have been warned for months and sometimes even years. I feel no sympathy for People who often know their place of business is temporary and when they are given notice, they still refuse to vacate until force is applied

God has even saved them through this intervention demolition. Otherwise a sand loaded tipper truck would have crashed into their shops like what happened to some road side hawkers at Kumasi Dr. Mensah

We hate development. We love to dwell in our squalor. And practice our witchcraft. Yet we travel to desert countries and admire their beautiful buildings.

Was glad this the biggest comment I have ever heard from a. African in an African co : Go BACK TO Your Country and FiIX your Country. Why not Ghanaian politicians are stealing our heritage treasures left and right leaving the ordinary Ghanaian to wallow in poverty with very poor infrastructure - bad roads everywhere , poor health facilities and Dumso

The ruling powers whether NPP or NDC always descend with brutality to resolve the problem of squatters. While the law must be upheld, such matters must be approached with compassion and social justice. The elites always find a way to escape justice. It is now fashionable for every big shot caught in the web of corruption or specifically causing loss to the state to feign illness and be kept in a hospital or sent abroad for treatment. The poor receive no such consideration when they fall afoul of the law.

Is nice to hear the reasons for such demolitions, but many are in tears and few government officers seems happy this time?
Their justification is road under construction, careless where others sleep or eat?
My question is what should be done to the government if this roads stay for more than needed years unconstructive?
Ghanaians should be active and accountable for each other.
Swedru to Oda is a regional connecting road, it has been rough for 31years now since my secondary school. Amasaman to Suhum has stayed for14years now still waiting, Kumasi to Techiman is 11 years now, Kumasi to Becheam is 9years, Tepa to Ahafo Mim 9years, Kasoa to Winneba is still there.
Why do we keep on building uncomplicated structures all the time. Prez Mahama made railway lines through Afienya in his last adm and demolish others House's yet no train is moving there, He started affordable housing project near Dawa yet is left in the bush this time.
Why are we so wicked, cruel, senseless and aimless like this?
Foolish muted pastors don't pray for Ghana rather say to their wicked leaders to change from greed and cruel movement.

TOO MUCH KIOSK ALL OVER, THE ASSEMBLIES ARE NOT DOING THEIR WORK AT ALL.
SPINTEX ROAD IS EQUALLY BECOMING LAWLESS WITH KIOSKS ALL OVER EVEN TAKING OVER THE ROADS.
GHANAIANS MUST UNDERSTAND THAT VEHICLES THAT USE THE ROAD ARE MACHINES AND CAN DEVELOP FAULT ANYTIME ANYWHERE.
PLEASE CLEAN UP ALL THE MAJOR ROAD SIDES.
