By A tragic incident unfolded at Gomoa Budumburam as a pregnant woman lost her life and her two-year-old son is in critical condition after her house was demolished during a mass demolition exercise.
The mother, identified only as Serwaa, tragically lost her life after being rushed to St Gregory Hospital, while her son fights for his life at the same facility.
Eyewitnesses reported that Serwaa was asleep in her room when the demolition began, taking her and her family by surprise. The Traditional Authorities in Gomoa Fetteh, responsible for the land, initiated the widespread demolition approximately a month ago after the government returned the Gomoa Budumburam lands to them. These lands had been allocated to Liberian refugees during the Liberian war for resettlement.
Stephen Gyamera, the landlord of the demolished house, expressed shock at the incident, emphasizing that other residents were unaware that Serwaa was resting in her room at the time of the demolition.
An eyewitness, Gifty Ankrah, speaking to Citi News said, “The machine has been demolishing our buildings for over a month now. We are surprised at how the traditional authority in Gomoa Fetteh is embarking on the demolition. Interestingly no government official has said anything about the act.
“Women and children have slept outside for over a month since the demolition started. So far over five thousand citizens and Liberian refugees have been rendered homeless including women and children.”
