Men suspected to be National Security operatives Monday night pulled down the tollbooth erected by the University of Ghana to collect road tolls from motorists entering the university.
The President of the Students’ Representative Council of the university, Mr. Edem Agbana confirmed the incident to Myjoyonline.com.
He could however not confirm the reports that the action was taken by National Security operatives.
The reason for the action is unknown but the decision of the university to institute a tolling system on its roads has riled many.
Government’s appeals to the university to stop collecting the tolls have been ignored with the authorities insisting that they will only stop collecting the tolls if the government pays a loan of $2.3 million it took to build the roads.
More soon.
