Company supports fight to remove Fulani menace

Odumase (Ash), July 14, GNA - Aboboyaa Enterprise, dealers in knapsack sprayers and other farm inputs, has donated items worth GH¢4,000.00 and cash of GH¢200.00 in support of the joint military-police operation to tackle the nuisance of Fulani herdsmen in the Asante-Akim North Municipality. These included energy and soft drinks, biscuits, soap and Voltic mineral water.

The presentation was made through the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Mr Thomas Osei-Bonsu, at a ceremony at Odumase. Mr Gideon Seidu, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Company, said it was to show solidarity with farmers in the area, who had been at the receiving end of the cruelty of the Fulani and their herds.. The MCE said the invasion of their part of the Afram Plains by the herdsmen had become a major source of worry because this was the food basket of the municipality.

Already, food production in the area is on the decline due mainly to insecurity and massive destruction to farms by the Fulani and their animals.

He thanked the company for the gesture. Police Chief Superintendent Kwagyir Aggrey, the Divisional Commander, said the donation could not have come at a better time, given the enormous resources required for the operation.
