The Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly has set one of the city’s slums Sodom and Gomorrah on fire to compel recalcitrant squatters to move. The squatters, numbering about 2000 were evicted last month and their structures destroyed. But some of them have returned to put up makeshift structures. City authorities who carried out the exercise in the company of security agents, say they will not compromise any illegal dwelling places and unsightly environments and will go all out to clear such structures. The Squatters, some of who struggled to salvage property before the fire consumed their structures, complained they were not served any prior notice, while the authorities said they did not require any more notices. Journalist Samson Lardy Ayenini of Kumasi-based Luv FM who witnessed the exercise, said the squatters also argued they had secured an injunction against the KMA pending hearing of suit they filed against the Assembly but KMA officials said they were not aware of any court processes. Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene, recently urged the city authorities not to relent in ridding the metropolis of filth and all illegal structures.
