Most traders at the Tiptoe lane of the Kwame Nkrumah circle have returned to the area to sell their wares in clear defiance of the metropolitan authorities’ directive to move.
A team of police and AMA taskforce memberson Tuesday demolished unauthorized structures belonging to the traders to make way for the construction of an interchange.
But Joy News checks at at tip-toe lane a day after the demolition exercise revealed that the traders are back. They say they will remain there until government relocates them since they do not have any place to ply their trade.
"I don't have any place to go. I just have to come back to find at least what my family will feed on", one of the traders indicated.
Meanwhile the Accra Metropolitan Assembly has indicated it will return to the area to drive the traders away as the Ayawaso Sub-Metro and the AMA taskforce are being mobilized to take up the task.
Joy News' Kwakye Afreh-Nuamah who was at the tiptoe lane, reported that the traders have re-built their demolished stores and continued with their trading activities as they vowed to return any time the taskforce drives them away.
