“Stop the robbery and violent crimes now” – Mahama to Akufo-Addo
Flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama says the Akufo-Addo government must urgently act to stop the spate of violent crimes and dastardly robberies in the country.
He asked government to curb the rising insecurity in the country.
Mr. Mahama made the call on the back of the killing of the Mfantseman Member of Parliament, Ekow Quansah Hayford.
Mr. Hayford was killed on the Abeadze Dominase–Abeadze Duadzi–Mankessim road by suspected armed robbers on Friday, October 9, 2020.
The NDC flagbearer in a Facebook post to commiserate with the family also urged the security agencies to speedily investigate and bring the perpetrators to book.

This is the most despicable act, and we all look forward to the security agencies investigating and arresting those involved and bringing them speedily to justice.”
“There is a growing climate of insecurity in Ghana. Dastardly armed robberies and violent crime have become a common occurrence. I urge the government and the security agencies to do more to protect the Ghanaian people.”
He further said, “It’s probably also time to look at the provision of armed police guards for our MPs.”
