Africa-Press – Ghana. Mrs. Eunice Ohenewaa Ansu, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Juaben, is advocating for a re-demarcation of the jurisdiction of Konongo Divisional Police to enhance security in some parts of the Juaben Municipality which falls under the Konongo Police.
She argues that placing the Nobewam-Bomfa-Achiase stretch under the Juaben Municipal Police Command will help curb the rampant armed robbery menace which has plagued the area over the years.
“Since that stretch falls under Konongo Police Jurisdiction, all crime cases are reported to the Konongo police despite these communities being within Juaben Municipality,” she pointed out.
Mrs. Ansu made the call when she visited and donated undisclosed amounts to victims of a robbery incident at Adumasa.
She emphasised that the law prohibits the Juaben Police Command from patrolling these areas.
“I always have to rely on the Konongo police for situational and crime incidents from these communities, which makes my job tough,” she lamented.
She mentioned that aside from the recent armed robbery incident at Adumasa on the evening of Monday, October 20, 2025, in the Juaben Municipality, similar ones had occurred in other communities, leaving residents living in perpetual fear.
Ms. Vivian Kwaning, the Assembly Member for Achiase Electoral Area, revealed that similar robbery incidents occurred in May and August at Achiase, resulting in the unfortunate death of two people.
