Leavers' Club (LECS), a Suhum-based youth club, on has expressed disappointment at the manner in which the police are handling the issue of killings that plagued the area recently.
The youth accused the police of not tackling the matter with the seriousness that it deserves.In a statement signed by Mr Osei-Poku Agyeman, Executive Secretary of the club, the youth said the number of police personnel sent to Suhum to tackle the problem was inadequate and their strategies to fight the menace were outmoded.
The statement noted the 60 policemen that have been sent were not capable of stemming the tide and assuring residents of adequate security.
Mr Agyeman urged government to set up a special task force to investigate the gruesome killings in order to bring the perpetrators to book.
"We will also call on the Interior Minister, the Eastern Region and Suhum District Security Councils to, as a matter of urgency, re-strategize and intensify their bid to put a stop to this pain in the necks” of the people of Suhum, he stressed.
He also called on the inhabitants of the area to exercise restraint and be calm whilst the security agencies map up strategies to end the unwarranted insecurity.
Several people have been killed in the Suhum area in recent weeks raising a state insecurity in the area.The police sent a number of policemen to the area to help maintain security as investigations continue to bring the perpetrators to book.Source: GNA
