There was a near chaotic clash early hours of the day with disgruntled youth burning tyres to drive home their disapproval of the latest relocation of onion sellers to Adjen Kotoku area. The near pandemonium was put under control when security officials led by Kwesi Ofori stormed the scene to restore calmness, ensuring law and order.

The Operation’s Commander, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Kwesi Ofori in an interview told African Editors that the crowd controlling strategies were necessitated due to some ” criminal elements” who tried to disrupt normal business in the area.
