A tragic incident unfolded at Gomoa Budumburam as a pregnant woman lost her life and her two-year-old son is in critical condition after her house was demolished during a mass demolition exercise.
The mother, identified only as Serwaa, tragically lost her life after being rushed to St Gregory Hospital, while her son fights for his life at the same facility.
According to eyewitnesses, Serwaa was asleep in the room when the demolition exercise commenced, catching her and her family off guard.
The Traditional Authorities at Gomoa Fetteh, who oversee the land, initiated the mass demolition exercise about a month ago after the government returned the Gomoa Budumburam lands to them.
The area had been allocated to Liberian Refugees during the Liberian war for resettlement.
Stephen Gyamera, the landlord of the demolished house, expressed shock at the incident, highlighting that other residents were unaware that Serwaa was resting in her room at the time of the demolition.
