Following unresolved issues surrounding the management of the Keta reclaimed land, amidst an accusation that the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for the area took the land meant for a stadium to build a private residence on it, some unidentified men on Sunday morning stormed the area to demolish the MCE’s building.

Apart from the private storey building of the Keta Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Emmanuel Gemegah, which was partly demolished, they also demolished a fence wall of one Rocky Amugi in the area.

They were armed and were at the site of the Keta reclaimed lands at Adzido-Aflasco, near the Emancipation Beach around 9 a.m. on Sunday, December 29, 2024 with two bulldozers.

It took an intervention by the police to stop the unidentified men from further demolishing the building.

In October 2024, the youth in a similar fashion attacked the building of the MCE and wrote 'Stop Work' on it, arguing that the MCE was building illegally on the land reserved for a Stadium in Keta.

They claimed the matter was before the High Court at Sogakope but the developers have ignored the warnings and continued with their works.

There have been a number of public protests in the area about the said reclaimed land aimed at stopping the Keta MCE from giving out the land for the development of private properties.
