The DCE for Mamprugu Moaduri of the North East Region, Abu Adams has appealed to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to deploy more personnel to the area to enhance security.
Adams said the security situation in the district is worrying and believes that enhanced police visibility will help reduce crime perpetrated with motorcycles on mobile money vendors.
“We will need more policemen to enhance their performance,” the DCE told Asaase News. “Currently, the number is inadequate, we are trying to look at how the police service can increase the personnel at the police station so that we will be able to get more men to augment their service.”
“We are also calling for police vehicles. Currently, they are using motorbikes which is not good to fight crime,” Adams said.
The district has less than 20 police officers.
The population of the district, according to the 2021 population and housing census, stands at 68,746 with 34,053 males and 34,693 females.
