I read an old article聽 (2014) about Monkey Hill Reserve in Takoradi where monkeys live in the trees.聽 I went along to see them but the place is derelict and deserted.聽 I asked two locals separately who told me the locals had eaten all the monkeys. Does anyone know anything about this place?

Thank you. I am reading about the area now. How sad. It is abandoned and used by criminals and drug users.
