He however indicated there was a surge in robbery cases in the Brong Ahafo, Ashanti and Western regions, which he added could be due to measures put in place to counter the activities of the robbers in areas they used to operate.<\/p>\n<p>ACP Dedzo attributed the increase in robbery cases in the Brong Ahafo to influx of refugees from the western borders. According to him, some refugees could be part of new robbery incidents especially in the Brong Ahafo region since robberies seized for a while before surging up in the midst of the refugees seeking refuge in Ghana.<\/p>\n<p>In a related development, the Director General of Police Operations, DCOP John Kudalor stated that, measures have been put in place by the Police Administration to ensure that, Ghanaians enjoy incident free Easter. He added that, the Committee set to investigate the rampant road accidents that rocked the country has finished with its investigations and has submitted the report to President John Atta Mills pending White Paper.<\/p>\n<p>On the Fulani herdsmen and their involvement in some robbery incidents, DCOP Kudalor indicated that, because of ECOWAS convention on free movement, it has become difficult for the Police Service to take a decision to drive the Fulanis out of the country. He says the issue is political and that; it beholds on government to give a direction.<\/p>\n<p>Yaa Asantewaa\/Asempa News<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div readability=\"7\">\n<hr \/>\n<p>Add this page to your favorite Social Bookmarking websites\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/62f8ghana-police-150x150.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here is the original post:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> The Ghana Police Service has revealed that, there has been a reduction in robbery cases in the first quarter of the year compared to same period last year.
