The CEO appealed to the residents, especially opinion leaders in the area, to work hard to give credible information to the police, adding that the police should redouble their efforts to clamp down on the criminals.

Nana Agyeman expressed regret that people in the area were not experiencing a peaceful environment to execute their businesses to create job and wealth for the unemployed youth.
