Ada elders urge Police to probe Radio Ada attack

The Ada Traditional Council (ATC) has called on the Ghana Police Service to expedite investigations into the attack on Radio Ada.

A statement signed by the Paramount Chief of Ada Traditional Area and President of the Ada Traditional Council, Nene Abram Akuaku III, said after the unfortunate incident on Tuesday January 13, 2022, he summoned an emergency meeting at the Traditional Council to discuss the matter.

He said a team of seven ATC members, led by the Mankralo of the State, Nene Agudey Obichere III, were at the station where it was revealed to them that workers at the facility suffered for about 15 minutes.

The paramount chief stated that the chiefs would want to address statements from the radio station that were derogatory in nature through the appropriate medium.

“But some inexperienced and lawless youth would do otherwise. And we therefore urge the Security Services to be very vigilant,” he added.

He also pointed out that as fathers of the Ada community, they would not reprimand “the erring child and fail to question what the victim must have done to provoke the action”.

The chiefs said they would not condone any acts of violence in their traditional area.

“We would not entertain any provocative action or statement by any institution, company whether public or private, on any subject of theirs, be it individual or group,” they concluded.
