Angry artisans at Suame Magazine in the Ashanti Region have blocked the Suame -Techiman Ecowas road in protest against the government’s neglect of the highway.
The protest was triggered by a car accident at Breman Tuesday, July 12, 2022, which instantly killed a taxi driver while attempting to dodge a porthole.
The protesters are currently burning lorry tyes and chanting war songs daring the police to a bloodbath over the issue.
Armed police personnel have been deployed to the largest artisanal hub in the Ashanti Region to clear the blocked highway which has left hundreds of vehicles traveling from Kumasi to the Bono East and the five northern regions stranded.
