The Ghana Police Service has confirmed that over 350 individuals attacked and vandalized property belonging to Ada Songhor Electrochem Ghana Limited, but no arrests have been made yet.
The incident, which occurred in the early hours of the morning, involved unidentified persons storming the company’s warehouse, sites, and offices.
Reports indicate that the attackers ordered workers on duty to vacate the premises, seizing their mobile phones before beginning their rampage.
A visit to the site revealed significant damage, including stolen finished salt products and vandalized trucks. Items such as pumps, motorbikes, car tires, and other equipment were also reported missing.
The Ada Divisional Police Commander, ACP Joseph Atsu Dzineku, confirmed the attacks in an interview, explaining the delay in arrests despite the scale of the incident.
Electrochem’s Operations Manager, Nene Ode-Opio Siada, lamented the extensive damage caused by the attack.
He disclosed that CCTV footage captured the large number of individuals involved.
“The company has been hit hard. This is a severe blow to us,” he said.
In a related development, some residents of Boni-Kope have reportedly been assaulted in what appears to be a follow-up incident linked to the attack on the company.
Police investigations are ongoing as authorities work to track down the perpetrators and restore order in the area.
