Ghana: church demolished for operating without license

A combined team of Ghanaian Police and Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) Task Force demolished the Apostolic Movers and Shakers Chapel building in Dansoman on Monday for operating without a permit, Pulse news agency reported.

This follows an earlier warning by the AMA to the Church to vacate the area in which they refuse to comply with orders.

The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) said the measure was necessary to serve as a deterrent to churches who defied orders to “stop work and produce permit,” the report said.

According to the Assembly, the demolishing exercise is an activity the assembly has been embarking on for a very long time and is going to continue as far as some churches have decided to erect illegal structures.
