Dr Clemence Gyato arrested over Accra Race Course demolition
The Ghana Police Service’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has arrested Dr Clemence Gyato as part of investigations into the demolition of the Accra Race Course at Borteyman and the reported forceful takeover of the facility.
The demolition has prompted condemnation from the Accra Turf Club and other stakeholders, who have questioned the authority under which the exercise was carried out and demanded a full investigation into the reported takeover of the property.
The Accra Turf Club has alleged that approximately 200 armed men stormed the race course on August 22 with an excavator and nine bulldozers.
