Tema<\/a><\/strong><\/span> Metropolis during a demolition exercise.<\/p>\n[contextly_sidebar id=”nN9oNfZLDk59AXNt9Rbt6sIU3v7uGPmW”]The suit is seeking orders, directives, and declarations aimed at securing the basic human and economic rights of the affected persons.<\/p>\n
The suit, dated August 31, 2017, was filed at the Human Rights Division of Tema High Court A, and is expected to be moved on Monday, October 30, 2017.<\/p>\n
According to the writ, on March 3, 2017, a TDC taskforce, without any court order, demolished the workshop, residence and animal ranch of victims.<\/p>\n
It argued that this unlawful act rendered families homeless, causing loss of earning and inconvenience.<\/p>\n
The complainants alleged that the taskforce used pepper spray on victims of the demolishing exercise, causing eye injury to some of them.<\/p>\n
It said a complaint was filed with the Sakumono Police, who arrested Alhaji TDC, the man who is said to have used pepper spray on the victims, but was later granted bail.<\/p>\n
Excellent Ghana said it had to resort to the law court after attempts to reason with TDC over the actions of its taskforce proved futile.<\/p>\n
The civil society group urged the Inspector-General of Police, David Asante-Apeatu, to caution the Sakumono Police to serve with integrity or face similar court action in the future.<\/p>\n
