POLICE APPREHEND FERTILIZER SMUGGLER IN BUNKPURUGU-YUNYOO
Acheampong Langbong believed to be the comrade or confidant of Bunkpurugu-Yunyoo constituency NDC Women’s Organizer has been arrested by the police for selling government’s subsidized fertilizer at Kalabule price to farmers in the district.
Reports are that Madam Laadi Foknam, the NDC Women’s Organizer allegedly used coupons meant for farmers in the district and loaded trucks of ammonia fertilizer for Acheampong to sell at exorbitant prices.
An informant said Acheampong Langbong was selling a bag of fertilizer for GH 21cedis against the approved government subsidized price of GH 18 cedis to farmers nationwide.
A source closed to the District Police Command disclosed that the NDC constituency executives led by the Chairman stormed the police station and demanded the release of Acheampong which the police declined.
Despite the earlier warning by government to nib smugglers of subsidize fertilizers others has kept this warning into the back of their heels which resulted to the arrest of this stubborn youth man, who knows he will just be release without any charges or penalties against her as is likely to be a political link issue.
Meanwhile, the chiefs and some angry youth of the district are up in arms against Madam Laadi Foknam, the NDC constituency Women’s Organizer over her alleged attempt to resurrect the relaxed conflict situation in the district.
A resident of Kpentango, hometown of the NDC women organizer’s father on grounds of anonymity asserted that Madam Foknam is holding secret meetings with one of the feuding factions in the name of the NDC party which has the tendency of regenerating the conflict situation which lately culminated into the media Refugees camp in neighbouring Togo.
According to him, she was reported to the traditional authority who invited Madam Foknam and her husband to the Bunkpurugu chief’s palace to caution her against her moves and that she failed to honour the invitation.
