Information reaching Joy News say there is a riot going on at the Madina Transport station in Accra.
The riots, according to eyewitnesses, have been precipitated by an attempt to sell the land to a private developer which is being resisted by some residents.
Unconfirmed reports say riot police fired live bullets and volleys of teargas into the protesters.
So far, four of the rioters have been arrested.
The assembly member for the area whose name is not readily given, said the parcel of land is very important to the people.
He said political rallies and other outdoor events are held on that piece of land which is the only open space in the area.
The assembly member claims the youth of Madina had been protesting peacefully until the police arrived from nowhere and started firing warning shots and teargas, creating tension in the process.
More soon.
