Some children without nose masks have invaded the Opeibea traffic light intersection in Accra, wiping windscreen for a living.
Though the activities by these children have been in existence for many years now, it is gradually becoming common on some principal streets in the capital city, Accra, where some of them have resulted in begging for alms alongside even though officials have tried various approaches to stop it.
Some of the children are at times knocked down by motorbikes, cars and in some instances threatened by drivers, but they are not perturbed.
One of the children, who asked to be identified only by his nickname ‘Humble Lion’ said, he used the money to assist his mother for feeding and paying rent for the family.
“Despite the terrible news about the bad behaviour of some of the kids, not all of us on the street are bad,” he said.
James, a 38-year-old Bolt driver, said one of the boys slammed a squeegee on his windshield and cracked the glass at the Opeibea traffic about a month ago.
Speaking to Daniela Ruedisueli Sodjah, Executive Director of Chance for Children, a non-governmental organisation which empowers street-connected children and families, said, the kids were a visual sign of the challenges of young people have, their own struggles and the spirit to rise above those challenges.
Many of the street children are working for tips to pay for basic needs as their parents provide for them.
A police officer at the Airport police station who spoke on anonymity said, they have been responding to increasing complaints from workers and residents who drive through the city, regarding the challenge.

The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
