The Honorary Consul of Ghana to Italy, Massimiliano Colasuonno Taricone, has reacted to the vandalism of President 's statue by unknown individuals at the Effia Nkwanta Hospital Roundabout.

The statue of President was vandalised on the morning of Monday, December 16, 2024, with viral visuals of the defaced statue showing how the left leg has been partly damaged.

Reacting to the development on his X page on December 16, 2024, Taricone expressed his disgust, describing the defacement of the statue honoring President Akufo-Addo as a disrespectful act that should not be condoned.

According to him, recent developments in the country, including the destruction of the statue, demonstrate how Ghanaians are losing their sense of proportion, urging authorities to punish perpetrators of the act.
