Demolition Exercise Underway in Accra, Ghana

Accra, Ghana – May 28, 2025 – A demolition exercise undertaken by the Greater Accra Regional Coordinating Council is underway at the Lashibi Ramsar site. The exercise, now in its second day, has seen the demolition of several structures, including a storey building captured in a short video circulating online. The video shows an excavator efficiently demolishing the building, raising dust and debris. While the exact reasons for the demolition remain unclear from the video alone, it highlights the ongoing urban development and redevelopment efforts in the region. Further investigation is needed to determine the full context of the demolition exercise and the impact on the affected community.
