A well-furnished three-bedroom private home belonging to one Godfred Anum Torto at Osu, which he was operating illegally as a guesthouse, was closed down on Thursday by the Metropolitan Public Health Task Force of Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA).
Torto was not only found to be operating without AMA permit but also without business operating permit from the Registrar General Department and hotel operating licence from the Ghana Tourist Board.
Emmanuel Akrofi Bruce, leader of the Task Force, which closed down the guesthouse, said the exercise was carried out upon a tip-off. He said the landlord admitted using the place as a guesthouse.
Bruce said Torto charged between 10 to 15 pounds sterling per night in his private home, house number F828/2 Osu New Estates.
