The Harbour View Estate Residents Association has raised concerns over the ongoing demolition exercise at the Sakumo Ramsar Site, stating that it has destroyed more than 10.5 acres of land, amounting to 40 residential plots.
The demolitions, which began on August 4, 2025, are being carried out by the Greater Accra Regional Security Council (REGSEC) to remove unauthorised structures within the protected wetland.
The exercise covered areas including Communities 5, 6, 10, 11, and 12.
In a citinewsroom.com report on August 22, 2025, authorities argued that the move is necessary to stop encroachment and preserve the Ramsar site, which serves as an important ecological buffer and wildlife habitat.
