Concerned assembly members of the Ahafo Ano North Municipal Assembly have petitioned the Inspector General of Police to provide heightened security ahead of a scheduled meeting on May 20, 2025, citing threats of violence and rising insecurity in the area.
In a letter dated May 19, the assembly members recounted a violent incident that occurred following the declaration of the 2024 General Election results, when armed thugs stormed Tepa, the constituency capital, unleashing mayhem and instilling fear among residents.
They noted that during a recent meeting on May 16 to elect a Presiding Member, the same group of thugs disrupted proceedings and allegedly attempted to harm some members, prompting police intervention to escort them to safety.
With intelligence suggesting another potential attack during the upcoming meeting, the assembly members are pleading with police authorities to ensure adequate protection.
“As law-abiding citizens, we have come to you because our lives are in danger,” the letter read, warning that failure to act could result in further violence.
