A section of residents in the Oti Region has added their voices to condemn the destruction of a statue of former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

The statue, located at Effia-Nkwanta in the Western Region, was vandalized, sparking widespread outrage and mixed reactions among Ghanaians.

However, in contrast to the anger and vitriol expressed by some, residents of the Oti Region are calling for respect and civility.

They argue that the destruction of the statue is not only an act of vandalism but also a reflection of a broader societal problem.
