E/R: Police Commander disrupts wedding with over 25 attendants Listen to article
The Upper West Akim District Police Commander in the Eastern Region disrupted a wedding ceremony in Adeiso, the district capital, after organisers flouted President Nana Akufo-Addo’s Executive Instrument on Covid-19.
By the Executive Instrument issued by the president, attendants at such ceremonies should not exceed 25.
District Chief Executive Eugene Sackey made this known while speaking on
Onua TV’s
Maakye on the Covid-19 protocols in the district.
He said in Twi that “we have recorded eight cases of Covid-19 and all of them have been healed”.
Mr. Sackey said a few weeks ago, the Police Commander Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Nathan Yeboah “sacked some wedding attendants because they were too many”.
Drama ensued at a wedding ceremony at Adeiso, the district capital of Upper West Akim Eastern Region as the Upper West Akim District Police Commander and his men invaded the venue and drove away some of the participants.
The Rebecca Foundation, headed by the first lady of Ghana Rebecca Akufo-Addo has commissioned a newly built Adetim D/A KG and Primary School in the Upper West Akim District of the Eastern Region after the project was abandoned for twenty- nine (29) years.
The dilapidated facility which had served the community for a long time was reconstructed following various appeals by the Chiefs and People of Adetim since 1992.
The newly constructed building comprises a six-unit classroom block and other important ancillary facilities.
Speaking during the commissioning exercise, Mrs Akufo-Addo said the commissioning of the facility by the Rebecca Foundation reflects the vision to assist the government in its quest to provide quality and accessible education to all and sundry.
Mr. Eugene Sackey, Upper West Akim, Acting District Chief Executive (DEC), has described children as a vulnerable group that all must be done to prevent them from contracting COVID-19.
Mr. Sackey gave the advice when he led a team from the District Assembly and the Directorate of the Ghana Education Service on a two-day tour to some basic schools in the district to acquaint themselves with challenges that needed their mediate attention to address.
He urged the teachers to help the children to strictly follow all the saftey protocols and also consider their welfare as paramount.
“Let us encourage them to observe the COVID-19 protocols in order to protect themselves, while we also protect ourselves from contracting the virus”.
