Some residents of Ada in the Greater Accra Region stormed the premises of Electrochem Ghana Limited on Thursday, January 9, 2025, over a dispute regarding the Songor Lagoon concession.
More than 50 individuals, armed with sticks, forcibly entered the company's premises and engaged in activities such as gathering salt in protest.
This incident follows a broader call by residents for greater inclusion in the salt-mining activities carried out on their ancestral lands.
Electrochem Ghana Limited, a wholly Ghanaian-owned company, has been working to turn the Ada Songhor concession into a major hub for both local and international salt production.
