Traders, who were affected by the demolishing exercise conducted by a combined team to get rid of unauthorized structures at the Tip-Toe lane at the Kwame Nkrumah circle, are demanding compensation from government.

According to the traders, they have the right to be relocated since they pay their taxes to government.

A combined force of police and AMA task force, yesterday, demolished unauthorized structures at the Tip-Toe lane, however, most traders have returned to the area to sell their wares in clear defiance of the metropolitan authorities’ directive to move, a day after the demolition exercise.

 The traders have vowed to remain there until government relocates them since they do not have any place to ply their trade.

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 special taskforce are being mobilized to take up the task.
