The fire resulted in the death of Benjamin Ayem and left Lawrence Ayem in a coma.

The Public Relations Officer of the Tema Regional Police Command, ASP Juliana Obeng, narrated to Citi News that Comfort Agblozo last Thursday went to her husband’s house and took her three children aged 4, 7 and 9 out of the room where her husband and her brother-in-law were sleeping.

She proceeded to soak some clothes in kerosene and set them on fire in the room and locked the two men up in the house.

ASP Obeng said as the fire raged, some neighbours noticed and managed to rescue the two after they had sustained severe burns.

The neighbours rushed the two to the Tema General hospital. But Benjamin Ayem died on his way to the Korle-Bu Teahing Hospital where he was being transferred for while Lawerence Ayem is currently in coma.

The group, allegedly backed by the Shai Traditional Council, wants the toll collectors to hand over the activities to them.

According to Edward Nakitey, a journalist resident in the area, the group visited the site and attacked the toll collectors forcing them to flee.

The Hiowewem Clans Representative Committee, which won a court case over the toll collection about eight years ago, is responsible for collecting and managing the tolls but the Traditional Council wants to take over that responsibility, hence the attack.

He added that the young men have occasionally attacked the toll collected on the various sites over the same issue.

At each instance, the Police was notified for punitive actions to be taken, however the incident reoccurs.

“This morning, some youth gathered and began attacking them [toll collectors]…. they come in to prevent those collecting it originally from collecting the tolls today with the view of taking over the site,” he said.

The police are yet to make a statement on the development.

‘Police arrest irate youth’

In 2014, the Tema Regional SWAT Unit arrested some 55 angry youth after they stormed the quarry sites and demanded traditional revenue tickets and the sales for the day.

Some of the angry youth were said to be wielding machete and other weapons.
