The lives of my constituents are in danger - Akatsi South MP lament

The Member of Parliament for Akatsi South Constituency in the Volta region, Honourable Bernard Ahiafor, has said, the lives of his constituents are in danger.

The MP was reacting to measures put in place to protect residents following the murder of Apostle and Mrs Gbedema, leaders of Harmony with Jesus Ministry International.

Mr Ahiafor highlighted some crimes in his Constituency in recent times saying "we are living in fear and panic because we can all fall victims to these happenings."

He recalled how some gunmen numbering about 12, attacked and robbed Mr Makafui Atsu Kumordzi, a popular private lotto operator at Ayitikope with millions of Cedis stolen after sustaining gunshot wounds in his residency some few months ago.

According to him, he will petition the new acting Inspector General of police over the growing state of insecurity within the Akatsi South Municipality of the Volta region.

He said there were also instances where night security guards for some shops were also attacked and killed, motorbike theft, physical assaults, and many other increasingly heinous crimes, which have been recorded in the area.

"And now, these criminals have decided to destroy two precious souls, a pastor and his wife at Ayitikope with reasons yet to be made known," he said.

“I need the IGP and other security agencies to come to the aid of my constituents before this goes out of hand"

Mr Ahiafor also appealed to his constituents to volunteer information and offer assistance to the police to flush out some criminals in the system.

Meanwhile, a team of investigators from the Volta Regional Crime Officer of the Ghana Police Service have reported at the crime scene for thorough investigations into the barbaric act.
