He later framed the incident as politically motivated, referencing his alleged support for the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) and citing party National Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketia, popularly known as General Mosquito.
He claimed he had sacrificed 32 cattle and maintained close ties with senior party figures, including visits to the President’s residence and the NDC leadership.
However, the task force remained unmoved, stating that political affiliation did not influence enforcement decisions and that the structure was removed to prevent flooding.
Officials said the demolition formed part of efforts to clear waterways and reduce flood risks in the area.
Security personnel later restored calm after the exercise was completed and order returned to the community area safely.
