Graphic Online’s Emelia Ennin Abbey who is at the demonstration grounds reports that the police also fired warning shots and tear gas at the demonstrators to disperse them while the demonstrators pelted the police with stones. The angry demonstrators who were mainly the youth, transport owners, drivers and traders were from Afuaman, Manhean, Nsakina and Oduman. They blocked the main road that linked Afuaman-Manhean to the Ablekuma- Awoshie road by burning used car tyres. Some of them were clad in red and they prevented both private and commercial vehicles from moving. They said the bad roads have led to the lost of lives of especially sick persons who were being transported to hospitals, pregnant women miscarrying and road users being attacked by criminals who take advantage of the bad roads.
