Adabraka
Adabraka is a town in the Korle-Klottey Municipal District, located in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. It was the first affluent neighborhood in Ghana during the British era. The town's economy is dominated by trade, which includes the Adabraka market. As of 2019, the current mayor of the municipality the town is located in is Hon. Samuel James Nii Adjei Tawiah.
The town was first settled in the early 1900s developed by private owners. It steadily grew, fully developing the area between old Accra and central Adabraka by 1949 and the northern part of the town was finished by 1954. Since the 1940s, housing in the town is dominated by privately owned multihousehold buildings, consisting of four to forty rooms, most of said rooms rented to tenants.
On 2 November 2024, during the daytime, a group of five armed and masked men robbed a men sited in a red Toyota Corolla parked near the Adabraka market. Eyewitnesses reported seeing the robbers approached the vehicle with their gun drawn and began firing multiple shots into the air. The robbers stolen a total of around ₵7,500,000 from the victim. One person suffered serious injuries during the ordeal. The Ghana Police Service launched a manhunt for the perpetrators shortly after the incident.
Adabraka is one of many neighbourhoods which surround the central business district of Accra. The town is within walking distance of government ministries, markets, and private firms.
The town is administrated by the Korle-Klottey Municipal Assembly, which has mayor–council form of government. The mayor (executive chief) is appointed by the president of Ghana and approved by the town council. As of 2019, the current mayor of the municipality is Hon. Samuel James Nii Adjei Tawiah.
The town is home to the Adabraka market, which underwent renovations in 2013. The market was constructed in 1927 during the end of Sir Frederick Gordon Guggisberg's rule. The market is known as a fish market because of the many types of dry fish sold. Traders at the market hired security to protect their goods overnight.
Adabraka is one of three circuits which is a part of the Education Directorate.
Adabraka was once known for the O'Reilly Senior High School. The school is a second cycle institution that relocated in 2010 to Okpoi Gonno at Teshie-Nungua.
