“Nana Kaasehene, I’m here on behalf of Zongo chiefs, Kaasehene chief imam and the religious leaders to pledge our continued support for you and your development-oriented leadership. I wish to caution all residents, especially the Zongo youth, to stay away from all criminal acts and social vices,” Alhaji Amadu Owusu, who is popularly known as Alhaji Caterpillar, stressed.

He advised the youth to stay away from all criminal acts since crime is crime and no leader should interfere in the work of personnel posted to the new police station.

Alhaji Caterpillar also pledged their support to the Ghana Police Service to help ensure adequate security for all.

“Let’s all give Nana Mensah Bonsu and his elders the needed peace by desisting from all acts of violence,” he added.
