La residents petition Mahama over Laboma, Kajano and Labadi Beach demolitions

Hundreds of protesters from La communities have petitioned President John Dramani Mahama over the demolition of businesses at Laboma, Kajano and Labadi Beach, demanding compensation and government intervention to address the loss of livelihoods. The demonstration, dubbed “Aaagbe Wɔ”, meaning “They are killing us”, was organised by the Ga-Dangme Progressive Front on Thursday, October 29, 2026. The protesters, including affected business owners, residents and supporters, marched to Jubilee House to demand justice, engagement with stakeholders and clarity on the future of the demolished sites. They said the demolitions had destroyed businesses built over several years, leaving owners, workers and their families facing economic hardship.
