Kparekpare (O/R) Dec 18, GNA- Nana Foster Atta Owusu III, Chief of Kparekpare in the Krachi East Municipality of the Oti Region, has appealed to the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Dr George Akufo Dampare, to create a Police post at Kparekpare to help in the fight against rising crime in the area.
Nana Owusu said stealing motorbikes and other criminal activities were rampant in the area and since there was no Police post the community was challenged to apprehend offenders.
He stressed the need for the government to set up a security base in the town to check these criminal activities and prosecute the perpetrators.
Nana Owusu was addressing a sensitisation forum aimed at engaging stakeholders to enhance peace ahead of Christmas.
Police Superintendent, Mr Samuel Aboagye of Dambai District Police command, thanked the chief for the numerous efforts in supporting security personnel to curb crimes in the Municipality.
He gave the assurance that the concerns raised by the chief would be addressed at the Municipal Security Council (MUSEC) meeting for a lasting solution.
