Government worried about Alavanyo-Nkonya killings – VR Minister
The Volta regional minister, Dr. Archibald Letsa,
said Monday that the region’s Security Council
is worried about the recent scourge of killings in
the conflict prone Alavanyo-Nkonya townships.

More disturbing, he added, is the unwillingness of
residents of the aforementioned communities to
assist security agencies to apprehend the
perpetrators.

The Minister’s disclosure comes at the back of
the killing of a 62-year-old woman at the area
Saturday May 20, 2017 and a 15-year-old a week
earlier.
“These things are happening in broad daylight
and we are worried,” he told Francis Abban on
Morning Starr Monday May 22, 2017.

He added that until the perpetrators are
“apprehended and punished” the ghastly
killings will linger on.

“So we are appealing to the community members to
provide information because these people
perpetrating the crime are known. We believe they
are known…But when the security agencies go to
the communities they are so tight lipped and
don’t want to provide information,” noted Dr.
Letsa.

Killings Beyond land dispute

According to the minister, the killings has
nothing to do with the protracted land dispute.

“We have gone beyond land issues now,” he
said, adding: “It is obvious it is a tit for
that situation we are experiencing now.”

Curfew reviewed

Meanwhile, the Minister of the Interior, Ambrose
Dery, has on the advice of the Volta Regional
Security Council and by Executive Instrument,
renewed the curfew hours imposed on the Alavanyo
and Nkonya townships from 8.00 pm to 5.30 am.

The curfew takes effect from Sunday, May 21, 2017.
