The Director of the Operation at the Greater Accra Regional Police, Chief Supt. Sylvester Boyou has accused the Member of Parliament for Ayawaso Central, Henry Quartey of inciting traders operating at Tip-toe Lane against police and the AMA.
Officials from the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) and the Police are currently demolishing temporary structures at the Tip-Toe lane near Kwame Nkrumah Circle.
Chief Supt. Boyou told Citi News that the exercise started with little resistance from the traders until the MP arrived in the area.
He however denied reports that the Police had used tear-gas to disperse the traders who attempted to resist the demolition exercise.
The AMA says the exercise forms part of plans to decongest the City.
According to Citi FM’s Sammy Wiafe who is in the area said the traders say selling in the area is their only means of survival.
