TRADERS PROTEST AGAINST CHIEF OVER ILLEGAL DEMOLITION

An illegal demolition exercise carried out by some macho men at Twifo Hemang in the Hemang Lower Denkyira District of the Central Region that is alleged to be an order from the Chief of the town, Otumfour Amoah Sasraku IV has left the angry traders and artisans to protest against the exercise.

According to the aggrieved residents which some are pregnant women no notice was served but they only woke up to see well-built men demolishing their structures.

Meanwhile, they legally acquired the place from the Roman Catholic Church authorities in the area but the chief says he wants to use the place for a lorry park without providing them with any alternative. The issue has been reported to both the district Assembly and the police service but nothing has been done about it, They said.

They are evicting us here where do they want us to go,” some affected victims were heard saying while crying uncontrollably.

We will fight it with our last blood, they lamented while speaking with Kwame Owusu Asante Shadrack, Angel TV Reporter.

Meanwhile, the acting president of the Twifoman Traditional Area, Nana Twumasi Ankrah speaking on behalf of the chief, Nana Amoah Sasraku debunked the claim that no alternative place has been provided.

He also noted that the Roman Catholic Church does not have the legal right to lease the land to third parties. "The Roman Church came here for a mission works and does not sell lands" he noted.
