Angry residents protest over increasing Robberies in Communities
Commuters and concerned drivers of Kwahu-Nketepa
and Adowso in the Kwahu Affram Plains South
district of the Eastern region are demonstrating
against the police over what they call insecurity
on their roads.

According to the irate residents, police personnel
have failed to expedite action on the alarming
cases of robberies being recorded on the Nketepa
to Kwahu Tafo road which has become their safe
haven.

The Assembly members for Kwahu -Nketepa, Yaw Bossy
told Ultimate News, four robbery cases have
occurred on the road this year alone of which two
persons were killed, and scores of indigenes
suffered gunshot injuries.

The decision by the drivers and residents to
demonstrate has been triggered by an attempted
highway robbery which occurred on Tuesday
morning.

According to the Assembly member, the robbers who
mostly strike market days, laid ambush and fired
warning shots upon seeing the passengers who were
chiefly traders, but the driver managed to escape.
