There will be vehicular traffic on some major roads in Accra as security services and other groups embark on a peace march.
The exercise dubbed ‘TAFIA LAFIYA’ (Peace March) will take place today, Thursday, November 26, 2020.
The march will welcome personnel from the Police Service, the Armed Forces, Prisons Service, National Fire Service and the Immigration Service.
