Victims of the recent demolition at Ashaiman–Afienya are calling on the government to investigate what they describe as an unlawful operation allegedly led by the Director of Special Operations at National Security, Richard Jakpa.
The demolition is believed to be part of ongoing works on the Tema–Afienya–Akosombo road project, but affected residents insist the process was poorly handled.
They told Adom News they are struggling to understand the basis for the exercise, insisting their properties were not within the demarcated area marked by engineers and relevant authorities.
They claim that, without prior notice, military personnel stormed the area and began demolishing multi-storey buildings, including offices, a hospital, pharmacies, and a school.
The victims are questioning why private properties were pulled down without any form of communication or warning.
Among those affected are the owners of Senes Pharmacy and College, whose multi-purpose building was completely destroyed.
Some victims have directly accused National Security operatives, allegedly led by Mr Jakpa, of carrying out the demolitions, and are now demanding answers from the government and accountability for the losses incurred.
