Some unidentified men on Sunday, December 29, allegedly demolished the private building of Emmanuel Gemegah, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Keta in the Volta Region.
This follows unresolved issues surrounding the management of the Keta reclaimed land, amidst an accusation that the Municipal Chief Executive for the area took the land meant for a stadium to build a private residence.
Apart from the private-storey building of the Keta Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), which was partly demolished, they also demolished a fence wall of Rocky Amugi in the area.
It took an intervention of the police to stop the unidentified men from further demolishing the building.
In October 2024, the youth in a similar fashion attacked the building of the MCE and wrote ‘Stop Work’ on it, arguing that the MCE was building illegally on the land reserved for a Stadium in Keta.
They claimed the matter was before the High Court at Sogakope but the developers have ignored the warnings and continued with their works.
There have been a number of public protests in the area about the said reclaimed land aimed at stopping the Keta MCE from giving out the land for the development of private properties.
