They urged the police to urgently investigate and hold accountable those responsible for creating unrest and disturbing the peace in the area.
Nana Kwabena Bentum II, the Salima Chief, described the unrest in Atuabo as unnecessary and called for immediate government intervention to alleviate the tension. He stressed that the country’s laws should be enforced against violators within the paramountcy.
Nana Simali Kpanyinli V, Chief of Anwia, also highlighted the importance of police involvement to restore peace and order, which are essential for the area’s development.
