The meeting with the chiefs at Abene was held behind closed doors and he is expected to tour Kwahu Afram Plains and inspects some ongoing police projects as well as facilities.

Briefing the media, Chairman of the Eastern Regional Security Council (REGSEC), Seth Acheampong, conceded the crime rate in the Region.
