Traditional Authorities in Gomoa Fetteh in the Gomoa East district in the central region
has called for the immediate demolition of Liberia Camp ‘danger zone’, since the place has over the years become a hideout for hardened criminals.
Addressing a press conference today, the Odikro of Gomoa Fetteh Nana Abori Attah (ii) has revealed that the Liberian Camp at Gomoa Buduburam is a threat to Ghana’s security and therefore must be destroyed immediately.
“The Liberia camp which used to host Liberian refugees fleeing the civil war that hit the West African Country has now been turned into an area that harbours hardened criminals and drug addicts who terrorize residents of adjoining communities,” he fumes.
He mentioned this to Obaatanpa News’ Mireku Nyampong in a conference today.
Adding his voice to the issue, the Mankrado of Gomoa Fetteh Traditional Area, Nana Akwasi Quansah has raised concerns that activities like smoking of “wee” and prostitution by some of the residents in Budumburam are tarnishing their image as people of Gomoa.
“Our plans to demolish the camp is not a knee jerk action just because the police and the military teams have been to the area but the Camp continues to exist which allows more Liberians and criminals to use the place as a fulcrum to launch their criminal activities,” he said.
Nana Akwasi Quansah has appealed to the government to demolition the area or give the Traditional Authorities the power to demolish the area.
