According to Gilbert Nii Ankrah, Head of Public Affairs at the AMA who was present at the scene, the beachfront stretch opposite the Fire Service Training School popularly called ‘Dogo Beach’ was to serve as a temporary fishing bay for the activities of fisherfolk who were relocated for the construction of the Jamestown Fishing.
