A joint Ablekuma Central Municipal Assembly and Ghana Police Service operation is expected to carry out a decongestion exercise at the Agbogbloshie onion market.

The Greater Accra Regional Coordinating Council, in collaboration with the police, in 2021 conducted a demolition exercise at the same location, evicting over 10,000 scrap dealers.

Fast forward to 2025, the onion market has been flooded once again by the scrap dealers, exposing traders and buyers to extreme health risks and environmental degradation.

“Together with the regional minister, we have decided to decongest the Agbogbloshie onion site again. She has given us a representative, and the IGP has also provided a team to work with.

Two weeks from now, we will also clean the South Industrial Area, together with the Ghana Prisons Service,” the Ablekuma Central Municipal Chief Executive Frank Nkansah said following an engagement with the Greater Accra Regional Minister, Linda Ocloo, on Thursday, August 28, 2025.
