The Akim Oda Divisional Police Commander, ACP Fleance Senam Adikah, has advised police personnel stationed in the area not to go after married women since that will create enmity between them and the public.

The inauguration was performed by the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Abirem Constituency, Mr John Osei Frimpong, who was supported by the Chief of Akyem Nkwateng, Nana Amanie Ankrah II and the District Chief Executive for the area, Mr Remond Nana Damptey.
The facility, which cost GH¢236,126.28, was built under the supervision of the MP and the DCE through the District Assembly’s Common Fund (DACF).
The facility, which has separate cells for male and female, is equipped with sanitary facilities and it will serve Akyem Nkwateng and its surrounding communities which include Kuntenase, Dodoworaso, Akumafitaa, Abohemaa, Asuabena, Botwe and Asoase among other communities.
Deepen human relation
