A demolition exercise to pave way for the Tetteh Quarshie Mallam road, has been carried out.
The exercise undertaken by officials of the Millennium Development Authority (MiDA), affected traders operating between the Nii Boi Town and Lapaz lorry stations.
The unannounced operation took many traders by surprise as their tables, wooden structures, containers and kiosks were destroyed during the exercise.
When the Daily Graphic visited the scene at about 6:25 a.m.,two bulldozers were still at work with dozens of observers on the site to witness the exercise.
A trader, who gave her name as Mama Theresa, told the Daily Graphic that officials did not give them prior notice about the demolition exercise even though they were aware that it would be executed sooner or later.
She alleged that some officials had alerted a few traders of the impending exercise the previous night. “We heard the rumours around 10:30p.m. We all sell here I do not know why officials should tell some people and leave others”.
The exercise also affected some students and workers who depend on public transport to and from their destinations as they did not know where to pick their vehicles.
