Ga East Municipal Assembly Seizes Excavators From Ramsar Site Construction In Abokobi

Ga East Municipal Assembly has seized excavators from an ongoing construction project at a Ramsar site at Abokobi in Accra. The assembly alleges that the construction was being executed by the order of Ibrahim Faila, the Municipal Chief Executive for La Nkwantanang, a border locality, who has since demanded the release of the seized items. Ramsar sites are internationally recognised wetlands designated for their ecological significance. However, rising encroachment has triggered state-led demolitions aimed at protecting their long-term environmental value.
