The statue of President Akufo-Addo at the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital in Sekondi has been repaired, restoring it to its original state after sustaining damage.
Unveiled on November 6 to honour the President, the statue had previously drawn attention due to a visible gaping hole at the back of one leg.
The exact cause of the damage to the statue is still unclear.
On December 16, the Ghana Police Service launched an investigation into the damage inflicted on the statue.
Some people believe it may have been a result of deliberate vandalism, pointing to previous threats from local residents to have the statue removed.
Others, however, suggest that it could be due to a structural defect.
Calls for the statue’s removal have been increasing among some residents of Sekondi.
A recent follow-up has confirmed that the damaged section of the statue has been repaired.
