A group of heavily built men has stormed the toll booths located at the Ashaiman end of the Accra-Tema motorway to take over their management.
According to eyewitnesses, the men numbering about 25 ordered the personnel running the booths to vacate their post.
The booths were locked, allowing vehicles free passage.
The Public Relations Officer for the Tema Regional Police Command, ASP Juliana Obeng, has said calm has been restored.
“When we got there it was a bad situation but as I speak to you the situation has been brought under control. We deployed personnel to the tollbooth the moment we got the information,” she told the media.
Similar takeovers are being recorded in some parts of the country. On Saturday, some supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) stormed the Kwame Nkrumah Circle to take over management of the newly built interchange.
The irate supporters clad in NPP paraphernalia locked up offices built to operate the interchange popularly known as ‘Accra Dubai’.
The last change of government in 2009 was characterized with clashes between supporters of the NDC and the NPP over management of public toilets and other state properties.
