Coffin Makers in Asafo, a suburb of Kumasi in the Ashanti Region, have marched to the premises of Otec FM in large numbers on Monday, December 6 to protest their forceful eviction by the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly.
According to them, they have been asked to vacate the area before January next year but the group said they should be provided a place to trade if they are to be evacuated.
One of the demonstrators said the group will not comply with the directive if KMA does not provide them with an alternative place to do their business.
"We believe the decision by KMA to evict us was ill-implemented because there is no alternative place to accommodate us.
"They should not forget we are coffin makers, and I can assure them that we are ready to fight to any length even if it means fighting them with our coffins," he stated.
The coffin makers called on the assembly to provide them a space to move to prevent any misunderstanding.
