The Kasoa – Ofaakor Jei River Police have apprehended two individuals suspected of stealing iron rods intended for the construction of Agenda 111, a flagship government project aimed at improving infrastructure in the country.
According to eyewitnesses, three suspects arrived at the scene in a tricycle and were subsequently intercepted halfway loaded with iron rods by authorities.

The Municipal Chief Executive of the Awutu Senya East Assembly, Hon. Seth Banini, visited the scene and the construction site, where he condemned the actions of the suspects. He cautioned the Kasoa youth to desist from acts that could tarnish the area’s reputation and emphasized the importance of maintaining peace and security.
Hon. Banini reiterated his commitment to working towards creating more job opportunities for the youth, encouraging them to engage in productive activities that would benefit themselves and the community.
