Some residents in the Ledzorkuku Krowor constituency in Teshie, a suburb of Accra have vowed to hit the streets on Thursday after their houses were razed down.
The Municipal Assembly demolished over 70 structures on Wednesday alleging the houses were cited on green belts and water ways.
Justifying the demolishing, Stephen Nketia, Municipal Works Engineer told Joy News the residents were adequately informed not proceed with the structures but paid no heed.
They were also informed to relocate well over a year, but failed to do so, he said.
According to him, the Krowor Municipal Assembly granted no permits to the residents and warned them to desist from going ahead with the buildings, but they defied the warning.
But some of the residents claim they were not adequately informed.
Others who admitted their failure to acquire permits said government ought to have exercised a bit more restraint.
They say the problem could easily have been solved without their houses reducing to rubbles.
The aggrieved residents say they will demonstrate on Thursday to draw government’s attention to their predicaments.
