AMA Demolishes Illegal Structure in Accra's Circle

Accra's Circle Sees Demolition Drive: AMA Task Force Removes Illegal Structure Accra, Ghana – May 21, 2025 – The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) task force conducted a demolition operation today at the Circle area of Accra, targeting an illegal structure. This action is part of the ongoing efforts by the AMA to decongest the city and address unauthorized structures. The demolition followed several warnings issued to the traders and structure owners in the area. "We had to take this action after repeated warnings were ignored," stated an AMA official, who preferred to remain anonymous. "The structure was illegally built and posed a safety hazard and contributed to the congestion in the area." The video footage shows the AMA task force dismantling the structure, removing materials, and clearing the surrounding area. The operation appeared to proceed without major incident. The demolition is expected to improve traffic flow and pedestrian safety in the busy Circle area. The AMA's decongestion efforts are ongoing, and more demolitions are expected in the coming weeks. The assembly is committed to creating a safer and more organized environment for residents and businesses in Accra.
