Ayawaso West Assembly Enforces Regulations on Unauthorised Market

The Ayawaso West Municipal Assembly Task Force has taken action following the emergence of an unauthorised market at the Tetteh Quashie Roundabout near Villagio. The development comes months after the demolition of the Tetteh Quarshie Art Market and several adjoining businesses in the area by unidentified men in military-style uniforms. The March 2026 demolition sparked confusion and outrage among traders, with Deputy Minister for Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Yussif Jajah, condemning the exercise and calling for an investigation. “Even if you have the power to take over this land, let the people take their valuables before you destroy the whole place,” he said at the time.
