Accra arrested 21 traders at Agbogbloshie for selling on drains to improve sanitation and safety.

The Accra Metropolitan Assembly arrested 21 traders at Agbogbloshie Market for selling goods on open drains, violating sanitation rules. The operation, part of the Clean Ghana Campaign, aimed to reduce health risks, traffic congestion, and flood dangers from waste dumping. Traders had been previously informed, and confiscated food will be donated to children’s homes. Future enforcement may target customers to discourage roadside trading. The AMA stressed public health and safety as the goal, with ongoing unannounced operations across all sub-metros until full compliance.
