The Adjen Kotoku onion market has reopened for trading following a temporary closure caused by a violent incident that left several traders injured.

Normal trading activities resumed on Wednesday, April 8, 2026.

The market was initially shut after armed men, allegedly from a rival faction, stormed the facility in an attempt to seize control.

The attack disrupted operations at one of Ghana’s major onion distribution hubs and raised security concerns among traders.

Several traders were reportedly injured during the incident, prompting tension within the market community.

The disruption also renewed concerns over the management and security of the facility, with some accounts suggesting links to alleged political interference.

Authorities intervened to restore order, enabling the market to reopen and resume normal operations.
