Withdraw Security Personnel From Volta Region Now – Chiefs to Akufo-Addo
The Volta Regional House of Chiefs in a statement have called on President Akufo-Addo to withdraw security personnel deployed to the Volta Region.
The continuous presence of the armed security personnel in the region, according to the statement signed by the Vice President of the House, will intimidate electorates from showing up in their numbers to vote on December 7.
The call from citizens is that the House should demand the withdrawal of security personnel from the region forthwith, so as to reduce the fear of intimidation being exhibited by the security personnel,” the House said in a statement.
“Our people are of the view that the continued presence of these personnel and the intimidating posture towards the citizens will prevent them from going out on December 7, 2020, to cast their votes in a peaceful manner”.
