National Security Arrests Suspects Destroying Accra-Kumasi Expressway At Sewua

BREAKING: National Security operatives have arrested suspects involved in the destruction of the Accra-Kumasi Expressway at Sewua through illegal sand winning activities. The swift operation follows a viral video that exposed the large-scale degradation of the highway corridor.

The viral footage, shared by AMARO Shakur TV, showed heavy-duty trucks and excavators engaging in indiscriminate sand winning dangerously close to the expressway, causing deep pits and threatening to collapse portions of the major national road. The video sparked public outrage, with many Ghanaians calling for immediate action to protect the busy highway that connects Accra to Kumasi and the northern regions.

According to sources, National Security moved in after the video gained thousands of views online and was flagged to authorities. The suspects were picked up at the Sewua site in the Bosomtwe District of the Ashanti Region where illegal sand winning has been ongoing for months despite warnings from the Ghana Highway Authority.

Residents and commuters have commended National Security for the rapid response. Many say the illegal activity had left the road vulnerable to erosion and accidents, especially during the rainy season. AMARO Shakur TV, whose exposé triggered the arrest, posted an update saying “Kudos to National Security!” for acting swiftly to safeguard public infrastructure.

The Ghana Highway Authority has previously warned that illegal sand winning along highway buffers weakens road foundations and increases maintenance costs for the state. The Accra-Kumasi Expressway is one of Ghana’s most economically important roads, carrying thousands of vehicles daily.

National Security is expected to hand over the suspects to the relevant agencies for prosecution, while monitoring is being intensified to prevent a recurrence. 🎥 AMARO Shakur TV is continuing to document developments on the ground.
