The affected traders told Citi News<\/strong> they were not given prior notice of the demolition. Some narrated that they had to rush to the market at dawn to pack some of their wares.<\/p>\n The traders watched on helplessly as the bulldozers flattened their stalls, while others were seen\u00a0rummaging through the debris to see what they could salvage.<\/p>\n The demolition was supervised by the personnel from the Ghana Police Service and the Ghana Armed Forces.<\/p>\n The assembly has carried out a number of demolitions on the banks of the Odaw River and the Korle Lagoon to make way for the dredging and desilting of the two water bodies.<\/p>\n The exercises were sanctioned following the devastating June 3 floods and fire which claimed over 150 lives and destroyed properties worth millions of Ghana cedis.<\/p>\n Since the demolitions began, the AMA has faced stiff opposition from some government officials and residents of Old Fadama who were the worst affected.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Some of the displaced persons who were mostly from the three regions of the north have since returned to their home regions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"IMG-20150704-WA0009\"](\"http:\/\/4cd.e16.myftpupload.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/IMG-20150704-WA0009.jpg\")
