It was as though this part of the country had completely forgotten about any risks, or a pending pandemic when they trooped the beach in their numbers to entertain themselves.
Residents of Chorkor a suburb of Accra ignored the President’s lockdown directives, to chill at the beach on Easter Sunday, April 12, 2020.
Hundreds of people who reside at the popular coastal area were out in their numbers in the afternoon to cool it of by swimming in the sea, unperturbed by the growing cases of Coronavirus in Ghana.
While the elderly fisher folks were busy mending their nets, a number of people; children and the youth mostly, were busy making merry and celebrating to mark the Easter festivities.
When Ghanaweb’s lenses caught up with these persons, most of them could be seen engaging in various activities including swimming, football, acrobatics display, etc. whiles others just sat on the white sand and others stood afar to observes activities at the beach.
However, some of the fishmongers were busily going about their regular business activities, buying cartons of fishes from fishermen who had arrived at the shore.
Business was also booming for other squatting vendors who sold food to the people who had thronged the beach to enjoy their Easter Sunday.
Despite the lack of police visibility in the area, Ghanaweb’s reporter observed that the road was empty but the beach was packed with people.

Yes this was all true as I witnessed all these, it's not a lie there is no lock down here in chorkor trust me. Even the military were here today in their numbers and I could still a number of people who were still loitering around and some were even caned. Ask police and the army who came to chorkor to see if what I'm saying is lie.
Where was the security?
well done peacefm online and other portals. we get to see all that is happening around the world. thank you
In fact some have to die. Simple. Total ***barred word*** and ***barred word***. Gyiminifo.
Chorkor needs total locked down ASAP
Free SHS should have started long time.
its time we start educating our friends and familys in our local languages,you can clearly see that these guys don't understand what is actually going on if only the story is true.
Why did Ghanaweb not interview even one person in the video? Are we sure about these pictures and video? Was it today? Why will peacefmonline pick a news item from Ghanaweb? I am shocked? With all your coverage and contacts? C'mon.
This is what we call i can't think far. What!! The illiteracy in this country is too high such that we turn to ignore directives from state authorities. Should the military start acting now we the very same people will start shouting.
They are ignoring the directives and when they get the pandemic in their area then, they would call on the government to come to their aid. Fire burn them all
