A statement from the Police Service said: “unmarked vehicles would not be permitted to park or drive through these roads.”

Traffic diversions

Motorists from Lokko Street towards the Castle road have been advised to use Ajumaku and Oxford streets.

Traffic from AU Circle towards the Castle road shall also be diverted unto the Abdul Diouf and King Hassan roads.

Meanwhile traffic police officers will be deleted at vantage points to offer the “ needed assistance.”

The former Vice President passed away at age 67 on the 29th of June, 2018.

An aide to the late Kwesi Amissah-Arthur who confirmed the death to Citi News said Amissah-Arthur collapsed at the Airforce Gym during a workout session and was rushed to the 37 Military Hospital.
