Three top officials from the McDan Group have been picked up by National Security after bulldozers demolished their warehouse construction site on Spintex Road in Accra.
The arrests happened shortly after the demolition incident, with the site now being guarded by security personnel who've declared it a "National Security Zone." The half-built warehouse is linked to business heavyweight Daniel McKorley, better known as McDan.

What exactly triggered the demolition remains a mystery, but things got properly heated on Wednesday when armed soldiers were caught on camera assaulting a bystander who was being interviewed by a JoyNews reporter at the scene.
The situation took another worrying turn when JoyNews journalist Carlos Calony was also picked up by National Security operatives while he was covering the story. Nobody knows why he was picked up these security men.
