The Ghana Police Service’s announcement that it will investigate the damage to the statue of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo at the Effia Nkwanta Regional Hospital Roundabout has provoked strong criticisms and outrage from Ghanaian netizens. <\/p>\n Many critics have condemned the police\u2019s decision, calling them unnecessary and a misplaced priority. They argue that the police have yet to update the public or apprehend those responsible for the loss of lives during the recent elections in certain areas of the country.<\/p>\n Critics also pointed out that the police have yet to resolve important cases, such as the Adabraka robbery that occurred weeks ago, as well as a recent robbery in Lapaz, but are now dedicating time to investigate the vandalism of the statue.<\/p>\n This has caused the Ghana Police Service to trend on X for Tuesday, December 17, 2024.<\/p>\n According to an earlier statement released by the police on December 16, 2024, the police gave details of the damage to the president\u2019s statue.<\/p>\n It said that the plaque on the statue had been removed, adding that its left leg was also broken.<\/p>\n The police assured that the person(s) responsible for the damage would be found and dealt with in accordance with the country’s laws.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Ghana Police Service has commenced an investigation into the damage caused to the statue of His Excellency, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, located at the Effia Nkwanta Regional Hospital Roundabout at Sekondi, Western Region.<\/p>\n \u201cPreliminary investigations by the police have revealed that the statue’s left leg has been damaged, and its plaque removed.
