Bishop Titi-Ofei retracts building offer for Coronavirus isolation centre after protests

Some residents of the Tema-West enclave objected to the usage of the place for the proposed purpose, with reasons that they were not consulted on the issue.

According to them, the 100-bed facility would expose them to the deadly pandemic considering it is in close proximity to their buildings and the disease is highly contagious.

Bishop Titi Ofei, responding to the concerns in a statement said he would consider other alternatives to support the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I wish to assure my cherished neighbours that the offer was done in good faith. However, in the spirit of good neighbourliness, I have decided to offer other forms of assistance in the fight against COVID-19”, parts of the statement read.
