A demolition exercise by the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) at Asafo descended into chaos yesterday as residents violently resisted the taskforce. The confrontation saw residents pelting stones and clubs at officials, including military personnel.
The unrest occurred during an ongoing KMA operation to clear structures in the Asafo area. Eyewitness accounts suggest the situation escalated rapidly when the demolition team encountered strong opposition from some property owners and residents, leading to a physical altercation.
