Some of the people living in Adjen Kotoku, the area earmarked for the resettlement of Old Fadama residents say they will not accept them because they [people from Adjen Kotoku] would not be safe with them in the area.
Resident of Old Fadama whose homes were demolished last Saturday are to be relocated to the new area.
Thousands of the Old Fadama residents were rendered homeless last Saturday after the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) embarked on a demolition exercise.
Government said it has prepared a place in Adjen Kotoku to host them.
Some officials have also said that part of the area will also serve as an international market for Yam traders.
Citifmonline.com checks revealed new infrustructure to host them and make their commercial activities successful.
The area has tarred roads and some social amenities including a Police station, health facility, Fire Service post, a Senior High school and a market.
The market has 95 stores, toilet facilities, pavements, two huge sheds but these are all lying fallow.
Information gathered by citifmonline.com indicates that the place will be used as the Greater Accra Regional Fire Service Training School as well.
It has a recovery ward and two consulting rooms but there was only one nurse and an in-charge when citifmonline.com visited.
The Police station was operational.
A road separates the Adjen Kotoku Senior High School from the market and the rest of the facilities.
Information gathered by citifmonline.com suggests that the Adjen Kotoku Senior High School was initially planned as a basic school for children of the Old Fadama traders but was converted to a Day Senior High school.
Adjen Kotoku is a serene town with new projects springing up.
But a spokesperson for the Chief complained about government’s failure to compensate the land owners of the area.
He also complained that government has not provided accommodation facilities for residents of Old Fadama.
It was discovered that there are legal issues on the said land.
