The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Fredyma Studio, Fred Kyei Mensah has expressed his worry over commercial activities springing up around the Pokuase Interchange.
In a Facebook post, he wrote, “The desecration of the Pokuase Interchange in Accra, continues unabated. I live around and can’t sit down unconcerned for individuals, to pulp this mighty edifice with their parochial interests to bring into disrepute the honor and the resources pumped into its construction.”
According to Fredyma, “I don’t know if this is how interchanges in other jurisdictions are managed! 3y3 tan! I have reported severally to the authorities responsible for the upkeep of this monumental edifice, however, to no avail.”
“From the noise of daylight evangelists to that of the GPRTU, drinking spots, fufuo pounding, and now, the selling of coffins under the interchange, is repugnant and smacks of the lack of discipline from the Ga North Assembly,” the renowned producer said.
“If the elders of a town allowed the children in it to consume some forbidden meat, they would be counted amongst them on the day of reckoning. I know this post would be limited by some unforeseen hands only for a few people to see it. Life is there for all of us.Good beads don’t rattle,” he said.
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.
