Mr Owureadu who also doubles as the Nkoranza South Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in Nkoranza, expressed worry over the issue and said such heinous acts must not repeat itself in the area, describing the act as inhuman and condemnable in all aspects of life.
Mr Owureadu assured the Municipal Security Committee’s commitment to protect lives and property, indicating that it was ready to clamp down on any social misfits and maintain the peace being enjoyed to improve the socio-economic development of the area.
He urged residents to resist anger and redirect their grievances to the appropriate quarters such as the Traditional authority, Police and the Commission for Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) for redress instead of taking the law into their hands which would not augur well for their wellbeing.
