The people of Agbogba and other surrounding communities in the Ga East Municipality of Greater Accra have appealed to the Inspector General of Police to immediately provide them with adequate security in the area.
According to them, they have suffered robbery attacks and other criminal activities for far too long because of a lack of police stations.
The residents claimed they are occasionally attacked at gunpoint and robbed of their belongings, and this has gone on for years despite their numerous requests for protection.
According to one of the residents, they have secured land for the building of a police station and are asking the government, IGP, Interior Minister, and other concerned persons to assist them.
These issues were revealed when the Landlords Association at Agbogba, Akatsi Abor, Sun City, Sakora, 50-50, and other areas held a fund-raising forum in collaboration with the stakeholders, including the Ga East Municipal Assembly, the Police, and the NCCE, targeting the building of a police station.
Chairman of the fund-raising event, Mr. Reginald Awuku Darko, reiterated the malfunctioning of the street lights, the bad nature of the roads in the area, and the lack of security presence as the major life-threatening matters confronting them for years.
Touching on other issues, Mr. Awuku Darko said that most of the students of the University of Ghana (Legon), UPSA, and Wisconsin University are residing in these areas, and the attacks on them by these criminals are worrying their academy routines.
