The Regent (Chief) of Ashaiman, Nii Annang Adzor, has cautioned non-residents and miscreants to desist from using Ashaiman to perpetrate criminal activities.
His comments come in the wake of calls for Ashaiman authorities to come together in efforts to clamp down on the activities of miscreants, some of whom are not from Ashaiman.
Speaking on Plan B FM’s late afternoon show ‘EBAANOSEN’ hosted by Ohene Kinnah, the Chief said most of the crimes committed in Ashaiman are done by miscreants from Ada, Nima, Kasoa, Ningo, and other neighboring towns.
According to the Regent, investigations revealed that out of the four arrested and arraigned in connection with the slain soldier, only one person is from Ashaiman, and the remaining three are not Ashaiman residents.
He expressed disappointment with the way and manner in which these group of people leverage on Ashaiman to commit their crimes and then crawl back to their shells after their evil deeds.
“It is sad to note that some of the crimes you hear about in the media space are not done by the Ashaiman people. They are often criminals from neighboring towns who only use Ashaiman to commit crimes and run back to their areas when the evil has been finalized, putting the name of Ashaiman in the mud over the years on crime-related issues,” he added
Nii Adzor maintained that Ashaiman has a lot of peace-loving residents who do not support criminal activities and that they will ensure that these criminals from other areas won’t use Ashaiman to carry out their criminal operations going forward.
“We are currently looking forward to the means to bring criminals from other neighboring towns who use Ashaiman to perpetrate crimes to book. I believe this will serve as a deterrent to other liked–minded to desist from committing crimes against humanity,” he assured.
He further called on the Ashaiman Police Command to be more proactive in efforts to combat crimes and redeem the name of the town.
