Upon arrest, they produced a letter purportedly written by the Authority giving them permission to replace the median with new wires under a project in collaboration with Wire Weaving Industries Ghana Limited.

The wire company is said to be providing a new coated wire mesh for the median.

But officials from the Authority at the scene said the letter was fake.
