So the minister intervened with his team but the dealer, who has been identified as Array still refused to move.
The minister, Mr Amoako-Atta told the dealer that the project was so important to be disrupted, as it will cause discomfort and inconvenience for motorists and the public.
But the dealer questioned the minister’s moral authority to ask him to remove his equipment.
He even indicated that he was a staunch member of the governing New Patriotic Party and should be treated fairly.

The back and forth scene became violent to the extent that the bodyguard of the minister was forced to fire warning shots to restore order.
The East Legon Police arrived at the scene and the dealer and his two employees were arrested.
