Scores of residents at Adentan and Madina on Monday morning hit the streets to protest the delayed completion of footbridges on the Madina-Adentan highway.

The protest march ended peacefully.

Residents along the stretch have been agitating for footbridges to be fixed on the N4 highway after they claimed close to 190 pedestrians have been knocked down by speeding vehicles; a figure the Police have disputed.


The killing of a 19-year old female student from the West Africa Senior High School, WASS, last Thursday, led to a massive spontaneous protest where the residents burnt tyres and blocked cars from using the road.

A day after the protest, the streetlights on the highway were fixed and government promised to see to the fixing of the bridge in a week.

This morning, the residents embarked on a peaceful demonstration to pressurize government to fix the footbridges along the highway.
