President John Dramani Mahama has directed the Interior Minister and the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to urgently deploy more security personnel to the Bono East Region in response to rising incidents of highway and armed robberies, particularly along the eastern corridor.
Addressing residents during his "Thank You Tour" in Kintampo, Mr Mahama acknowledged the growing insecurity in areas such as Atebubu, Amente, Sene East and West, and the Pru districts, where robbery cases have become increasingly rampant. "We are aware of the challenges in the eastern corridor of Bono East.
In response, I have directed the Minister for Interior and the IGP to deploy additional security personnel to those areas where robbery has become rampant," he stated.
He further announced that the government would provide the police with patrol vehicles and communication equipment to enhance their capacity in combating crime and ensuring public safety.
