Hawkers at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle Interchange area have vandalized a structure belonging to UCS facility management.
An eyewitness, Philip Gyetu, who witnessed the incident, explained that the hawkers decided to vandalize the structure in protest against the beating of their colleague, who is believed to have been beaten to the pulp by personnel from the UCS – the firm tasked to guard the lawns at Circle.
Narrating the incident to Citi News, the eyewitness, Philip Gyetu, said :”This is very terrible. The guy is a colleague . He flouted the regulations of the UCS by placing his table at an unauthorized area. When the hawker was asked why he placed his table at the said area, he became angry and started exchanging blows with one of the personnel which resulted in a fierce fight. They later had to rush the hawker to the hospital after they realized he was in a critical condition but his wife came to tell us afterwards that her husband had passed on so out of anger the hawkers at Circle decided to vandalize the UCS structure by pelting stones and sticks.”This incident follows a recent demolition exercise at the interchange area, which saw the destruction of hawkers’ wares and temporary structures.
