Tema: ‘Machomen’ take over motorway toll booths

The toll booths located at the Ashaiman end of the Accra-Tema motorway were seized and taken over by well-built men in the early hours of Monday, December 12.

An eyewitness explained to OTECNEWS that at about 6:00am, about 25 well-built men had seized the booths.

According him, they walked to the booths and ordered the workers collecting the tolls to vacate the facility. They then took the keys, locked the booths, and allowed cars free passage.

It took the intervention of police reinforcements to restore order and allow the workers to resume collecting the tolls.

No arrests were made, the eyewitness said.

Speaking to OTECNEWS, the Tema Regional Police PRO, ASP Juliana Obeng indicated that they have impounded the vehicle used for the operation but no arrests have since been made adding that they will report the matter to the regional commander for necessary action.
