A young man was caught for stealing a mobile phone from a lady’s bag just after Ghanaians were urged to be law abiding and to consider themselves as one another’s keep at the launch of the National Orientation sensitization programme at the Accra International Conference Centre on Wednesday
The man whose identity was not immediately known was properly dressed for the occasion and looked like an official on assignment at the event.
The sensitization programme was aimed at educating Ghanaians more on the need to re-orient our selves and be more patriotic while upholding ethical and moral behaviour.
According to an eye witness who is a staff of the Ministry of Information and National Orientation, during refreshment when people had queued to have a snack, the man slipped his hand into the lady’s bag and picked the phone.
He said immediately the lady felt that something was wrong and demanded from the man to inspect his phone but he showed her one which was not hers.
The scene drew people’s attention so the lady searched the man’s pocket against his will and the phone was found on the well-dressed man.
The man was immediately handed over to the police at the Conference Centre and later taken to the Police station for further interrogations.
Mrs Oboshie sai-Cofie at the launch advised that: “In our everyday life, we should be courteous to one another. We should respect time and its values. We should learn to take pride in local dress and cuisine.”
She said the kind of Ghanaian the programme envisaged was one who holds dear to his or her positive cultural and traditional values.
“There are other areas in which we should show our special pride and togetherness as Ghanaians. We can learn to focus on and respect the symbols that unite us as a nation such as the National Flag, National Anthem, Coat of Arms, the National Pledge and the National Currency and attach importance to them.”Source: GNA
