<\/p>\nA health facility intended to serve residents at Aboabo-Akotosu, near the Kumasi Airport in the Asokore Mampong Municipality of the Ashanti Region has been left uncompleted for almost two decades.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The uncompleted building, which has now been taken over by weeds and reptiles is now a haven for criminals, with no sign of an expected completion.<\/p>\n
The land was secured by a philanthropist, Alhaji Danladi 20 years ago, to build a health facility to serve the vulnerable residents there, but after his passing not long after, not much has been seen at the project site.<\/p>\n

Although authorities say they are currently holding talks with other philanthropists to help complete the\u00a0facility, the residents are uncertain about\u00a0how long the process could take.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Now known as the ‘farm’, the project site has gained\u00a0notoriety because of the increasing illicit operations by criminals there.<\/p>\n
In 2017, there was a fierce gun battle when police officers engaged some suspected criminals who were lodging in the building. One of the suspects died in the process and a police officer injured.<\/p>\n
