Seven unlucky residents have discovered the hard way that in Accra, you can’t just “free the system” anywhere you like. The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) Sanitation Court has remanded them for open defecation — yes, remanded!
According to city officials, the suspects were allegedly caught mid-mission during routine sanitation patrols. Instead of heading to a public toilet, they reportedly chose what they thought was a quiet corner — only to end up in a courtroom. Talk about a plot twist.
The crackdown is part of AMA’s campaign to keep the city clean and disease-free. But for these seven, what started as a simple “nature’s call” has now turned into a legal call.
Moral of the story? In Accra, if nature calls… make sure you pick up the right line — preferably one that leads to a toilet, not a remand cell.
