The Adjen Kotoku Onion Market has resumed trading activities after being temporarily shut down due to a violent confrontation that left several traders injured.
The closure followed an attack by armed individuals, reportedly linked to a rival group, who attempted to take control of the market. The incident disrupted operations at one of Ghana’s major onion distribution centres and raised serious safety concerns among traders.
A number of traders were injured during the clash, heightening tensions within the market community. The situation also sparked concerns over the facility’s management and security, with some reports suggesting possible political interference.
In response, the Ghana Police Service launched an operation that led to the arrest of a suspect, identified as Inusah Seidu, who was apprehended at a hideout.
The action followed the deployment of a specialised intelligence team on the directive of the Inspector-General of Police to investigate the incident, restore calm, and prevent further violence.
With security measures now in place, authorities have reopened the market, allowing traders to return and business activities to continue.
