The Adaklu Vodze Town Development Committee (TDC), has apprehended eight people for allegedly using the community’s basic school for "illicit activities".
The convicts, four males and four females were suspected to be smoking Indian hemp and having sex in one of the classrooms.
Secretary of TDC, Eric Dzormeku indicated that the head teacher of the school had lodged several complaints about unknown persons using the school’s classrooms as “a brothel and wee smoking joint”.
Therefore the Chief of the community, Togbe Agbelekor III appealed to residents to desist from such behaviour noting that offenders will be fined GH¢200.
Narrating how the culprits were arrested, the Secretary said the Committee and some youth from the community mounted surveillance around the school and had a tipoff that some people were on the school premises around 2000 hours last Thursday.
He added the TDC then mobilized the youth and went to the school where they were able to apprehend the eight.
The eight were subsequently sent to the chief's palace and to the Area 51 Police Station in Ho for indulging in illicit activities.
Meanwhile, Assemblyman for the area, Sampson Gakpo has also called on the residents to abstain from using the classrooms for unlawful act.
Stressing that anyone caught will be dealt with in accordance to the law.
Currently, the offenders are in police custody pending further investigation.
