Residents of Adabraka, a suburb of the central business district of Accra, say they are living in fear following a daylight robbery incident that occurred over the weekend.
Speaking with Joy News’s Sweety Aborchie on Monday morning, November 4, 2024, during the AM Show, the residents expressed their concerns about safety in the area.
“We are not safe at all; we are still afraid,” one resident said.
The residents revealed that this recent robbery is the third incident in the past three months, attributing the crime to a lack of security in the area. Some residents also blamed the business owner for not prioritising security at the shop.
According to the residents, there is no permanent police facility in the area, which has contributed to the recurrence of such robberies. They also said that the armed robbers threw around GHȼ30,000 of the stolen cash into the air before fleeing the scene.
In light of these incidents, they have called on the police to establish a permanent station in the area.
