Ashaiman police operations against criminal hideouts
Overview
In mid-October 2026, the Ashaiman District Police Command conducted operations to dismantle structures identified as suspected criminal hideouts and drug dens at Fitter Lane.
The initial operation, led by District Commander DSP Orlando Joseph Adzokpa, involved the demolition of structures to curb criminal activity and improve public safety. While suspects fled the scene and no arrests were made during the early morning exercise, authorities proceeded to dismantle the sites.
Subsequent reports indicate that the demolitions, authorized by the Ashaiman Municipal Security Council (MUSEC), included setting fire to several wooden structures. Ashaiman Municipal Chief Executive Freeman Tsekpo supported the actions as part of a broader effort to improve security, sanitation, and land use, warning that similar operations would extend to other locations. However, the exercise has raised concerns regarding the impact on residents and informal workers who rely on the area for shelter and livelihoods.
