Residents of Nungua Addogono in the Greater Accra Region have called on the police to increase their presence in the area, following a worrying surge in robbery incidents.

In an interview with JoyNews, on Friday, January 17, 2025, some residents shared harrowing accounts of being ambushed by unidentified assailants on motorbikes, while others have had their valuables snatched in broad daylight.

They expressed fear for their safety, lamenting the alarming frequency of such crimes, particularly in isolated parts of the community.

"Robberies have become rampant in this community, I personally experienced an attack when a group of armed men snatched my valuables. It’s terrifying," one resident shared.

Another also recounted a recent ordeal involving a friend.

"She was on an afternoon shift and took a taxi. Someone pointed a gun at her and demanded all her valuables. She had no choice but to comply. I’ve been hearing so many similar incidents lately. It’s really scary."

The residents are appealing for urgent intervention, urging the police and other security agencies to step up patrols in the area.

"We want the police to patrol during the day and at night to ensure there’s extra security, the situation is getting worse, and we need help to reduce these thefts," one pleaded.

The community hopes for swift action to address their concerns and restore a sense of safety at Nungua Addogono.
