A transportation facility in Greater Accra's Krowor Municipality has deteriorated into a location where illegal narcotics are openly sold and consumed, forcing travelers to avoid the premises entirely.
The Nungua Lorry Station was built to address transit difficulties but has been overtaken by individuals dealing substances such as cocaine, marijuana, tramadol and other drugs. Commuters report preferring to wait along nearby streets instead of entering the terminal due to safety concerns about theft and harassment. Gifty, who travels through the area regularly, explained that passengers choose roadside pickup points to prevent bag snatching. Vendors and vehicle areas have been occupied by people selling unlicensed products and controlled substances. Local residents accuse police officers from the Nungua station of accepting payments from dealers rather than making arrests, which has allowed criminal operations to expand. One traveler noted that by mid-afternoon, the facility fills with people using marijuana, making it dangerous to remain inside.
Community members have asked the Krowor Municipal Assembly, law enforcement officials and traditional leaders to intervene before the situation worsens further. Without immediate response, observers warn that the terminal risks will become a center for additional illegal activities that threaten public health and neighborhood security.
