Nine Nigerian traders have been arrested in Cape Coast. They were found operating their shops at the Kotokuraba Market.
This occurred on Friday during a two-day national clean-up exercise. The traders allegedly ignored a government directive to close non-essential businesses.
Authorities have temporarily closed all shops in the market as part of the clean-up initiative.
The arrested traders were reportedly operating their businesses despite the closure order covering the clean-up period.
Their goods were also confiscated by officials present at the market.
The arrest highlights the enforcement of directives during public exercises.
Further details on the legal proceedings are expected from the Ghana Police Service.
