He boldly declared that “Kumasi is very safe and people are going about their business without fear or whatsoever.”
He added that crime has drastically reduced in the region due to the diligence of the Police.
He was responding to a viral video in which one individual claimed there was a robbery attack in Bantama and one other locality.

In the video circulating on social media, some men on motorbikes are seen robbing a young man of his personal effects, after which they sped off.
The Police in its investigations disclosed that the said the video is a music video that has been circulated by some persons to give the impression that an armed robbery had taken place.
