The destruction of former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's statue at the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital in Sekondi has sparked a heated conversation across social media and public discourse.

The act of vandalism, which occurred in the early hours of January 13, 2025, has drawn significant attention, with many questioning the motivations behind the attack and reflecting on the broader political implications.

Reports indicate that the statue, which was unveiled on November 6, 2024, to honour the former president, suffered significant damage, with destruction extending from the head down to the knees.

Police confirmed that they had responded to a distress call but arrived at the scene after the damage had already been done.
