Audio Attachment:Listen to Peace Fm's Yaw Obeng Manu at the Market scene |
Tension is brewing at Dome, a suburb of Accra following a dawn demolition exercise carried out by the police at the Dome Market.
The market women are said to be up in arms with the police following the reported destroying of sheds mounted along the main road leading to the market.
Angered by the exercise, the market women erected a blockade on the main road trapping commuters plying that route for hours on end.
Peacefm's Yaw Obeng Manu who was at the scene reports that some motorists were forced to step out of their cars and walk the rest of the journey to their respective destinations.
A team of policemen sent to the location beat a sharp retreat when the market women hurled tomatoes and other food-stuffs at them, he said.
According to him, tempers flared when a reinforcement team tried to muscle their way through by tearing down the road block. They were met with stiff resistance from the traders some of whom resorted to exposing their breasts and other parts of their bodies.
