Security officials have stepped up protection measures across major roads in Bono Region after criminals attacked travelers with guns. Armed robbers killed a driver on June 13 near Sunyani when he would not follow their orders. The deadly shooting happened at Atronie along the Sunyani-Goaso highway and frightened many people who use these roads. Regional leaders responded quickly to the violence and sent more police officers to dangerous areas. They want citizens to feel safe again when they travel through the region.
Regional Minister Joseph Addae Akwaboa visited problem spots on June 24 to check how well the new safety plans work. Officials have built seven police stations between two towns where robberies happen often. More officers patrol the highways every day and watch for criminal activity. The government will put cameras along roads to help catch robbers before they strike. Network companies must improve phone service so people can call for help faster.
Signs with police phone numbers will appear on highways soon to make reporting crimes easier. The minister promised better roads next year because good pavement helps prevent robberies. Local chief Nana Kwabena Gyan thanked officials for their quick response to the crisis. He wants road construction to start soon because better highways will help businesses grow. Improved infrastructure makes it harder for criminals to escape after committing crimes.
