The Krowor Municipal Assembly (KROMA) in the Greater Accra Region has demolished a structure believed to be a shrine, which was illegally constructed on a waterway and within a railway reservation in the municipality.
The demolition exercise, which initially faced resistance from a group of angry youth citing the spiritual significance of the shrine, was successfully carried out with the support of the Ghana Police Service, who helped restore order at the scene.
Cameras captured the tense moments as the Assembly enforced its directive to remove the unauthorised structure.
Speaking during the operation, Municipal Chief Executive Mr Paul Afotey Quaye explained that the decision to demolish the structure was necessary due to the serious risk it posed to public safety, given its location on a waterway.
