Speaking with Joy News' Reporter, Benjamin Akakpo, some of the traders lamented over the loss of their properties ranging from sewing machines, knitting machines, school uniforms and clothes.
“I went for loan for about GH₵ 60,000, I have lost everything. I had a contract to sew school uniforms, people have come for uniforms of 30 to 50 bundles and working on them,”
"I have lost things I have sewn, my sewing machine and two knitting machines” the traders stated.
