The unauthorised structures which were at various stages of completion were demolished under the supervision of the Greater Accra Police Command, led by Director of Operation, Kwasi Ofori.
According to the Press Secretary to the Agric Minister, Issah Alhassan, the exercise has become necessary after several failed attempts to get the illegal occupants to vacate the lands.
