The raid became necessary following reports from residents that the operations of the individuals in question were posing health challenges. During the Sunday morning raid, it was discovered that the manufacturers of the products including Magic Insecticide Powder, were using a fake GSA Certification mark. The raid led to the arrest of four men including one Isaac Atta-Baah and the immediate closure of the facilities involved in the illegal manufacturing. Leading the raid were technical staff of GSA and its Executive Director, Prof. Alex Dodoo. He said the chemicals are harmful and that residents of Odorkor are at risks of cancers and respiratory diseases.
