Pavement of newly constructed Pokuase Interchange turned to 'fufu' chop bar in video

In August 2021, a video of some people using a section of the pavement of the newly commissioned Four Tier Pokuase Interchange as an eatery emerged on social media.

The video showed a man pounding 'fufu' on the pavement by the roadside and a woman standing behind a table with food arranged on the table.

It appeared the section of that road was not in use as some pedestrians were seen walking on the road, with the pavement being used as an eatery (chop bar).

The two operators who were believed to be husband and wife were later arrested.
