“Every week, I go to Kumasi Children’s Park and collect dead bodies.” – Assembly member reveals
The abandoned Kumasi Children’s Park in the area has prompted an appeal for help from the Government by Daniel Otuo Acheampong, the Assembly Member for the Afful Nkwanta Electoral Area.
It is estimated that at least two bodies are retrieved in the abandoned children’s recreational center per month with the help of the Zongo Police command- according to Daniel Otuo Acheampong.
“every two weeks I pick one dead body meaning average I call the Zongo police command to pick two dead bodies monthly’’ he said in an interview with EIB Network’s Ashanti Regional Correspondent, Isaac Justice Bediako.
He said that this is due to the fact that criminals in the abandoned facility’s deteriorating library feel at home inside to carry out their evil doings.
“There are a lot of armed robbers and thieves around this building, they are trigger happy and have been shooting people here for their bags and phones. Some of the criminals also die here when they survive robbery attack in unsuccessful robbery operations when they sustain injuries’’ he disclosed.
Daniel Otuo Acheampong further detailed that a contract for park renovations had earlier been signed by the previous Education Minister, Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh since 2020 yet the renovations have not yet started ever since a heap of sand was brought to begin the project
