The Environmental Health Task Force from the Accra Metropolitan Assembly discovered that Mr. Alex Baah, a public toilet and bathroom operator in the area, has connected the toilet to gutters in front of some shops, thus exposing the feaces with its attendant health hazards.
Despite complaints by the traders on several occasions, Mr. Baah is said to have turned a deaf ear to their concerns.
