The vigilance of some City Guards of the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA), has led to the arrest of two people suspected to be part of a syndicate involved in trading of unwholesome meat in the metropolis.
They included; a woman, identified as Abiba, and her accomplice, Kwadwo Asare, who were rounded up and handed over to the Nhyiaeso-Ridge Police.
Ms. Henrietta A. K. Aboagye, Public Relations Officer (PRO), KMA, briefing the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in Kumasi, said Abiba was picked up at the Adankwame Station near the Race Course.
