Mrs Osafo urged the public to be vigilant and assist the security agencies to bring the situation under control to enable the company to continue to deliver good services.

She said patronage of pay telephones in the region had increased because of lack of lines for the installation of more fixed telephones. Mrs Osafo said this had prompted the company to increase the number of pay telephones in the area.
