The IGP's directive follows a petition submitted by a concerned opinion leader, Jones Ofori-Atta, highlighting the escalating insecurity in the area.

Mr.

Ofori-Atta, speaking in an interview on the Ghana Yensom Morning Show on Accra 100.5 FM on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, revealed that the IGP personally called to assure him that measures were being implemented to combat the crisis and restore public safety.
