Demolition at Old Fadama amidst covid-19 insensitive

Amnesty International Ghana, has condemned what it terms “untimely and insensitive” demolition exercise in one of Accra’s biggest slums, Old Fadama, specifically at the Bimbila Station.

In a statement, the human rights organization said it is alarmed by the exercise, which it said was jointly carried out by the Ministry of Water and Sanitation and the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA).

According to Amnesty International, the exercise has rendered hundreds of people homeless at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and the presidential directives for partial lock down and the need for social distancing.
