Over a thousand residents of Old Fadama in Accra, mostly migrants from the three regions of the north, have been displaced as a result of the demolition undertaken by the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) in the area.
The residents who were living along the banks of the Odaw River and the Korle Lagoon had to be ejected to make way for the dredging of the two water bodies which have been choked with filth.
