We have nowhere to go - Budumburam residents

Occupants of the Liberian Camp have stated that they have nowhere to go.

Most of the occupants of the camp are immigrants who came to Ghana to seek Asylum when war broke out in their country.

In July, the occupants of the camp were given the notice to vacate the camp by September 30 following reports of the camp being a haven to various criminals.

This decision was taken after various pockets of crime including robbery attacks, assassination, and other socially unacceptable deviant behavior were traced to the camp, where people who have used it as a hideout and safe haven from security personnel.
