Asokwa MCE links recent MoMo vendor attacks to Asafo Market decongestion
The recent attacks on Mobile Money (MoMo) vendors in parts of the Asokwa Municipality may be linked to the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly’s (KMA) decongestion exercise around the Asafo Market, Municipal Chief Executive for Asokwa, Amoh Kamel, has said.
The Municipal Chief Executive for Asokwa, Amoh Kamel, has connected recent Mobile Money (MoMo) vendor attacks in the municipality to the decongestion efforts around the Asafo Market by the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA). Mr. Kamel stated that the relocations of market-goers during the decongestion exercise may have led to security issues in neighboring areas, including attacks on MoMo vendors at Kaase and Ahensan Estate.
During a media briefing on August 11, he highlighted increased security measures by the Municipal Security Council (MUSEC) and the arrest of two suspects by the Ashanti Regional Police Command’s Anti-Robbery Team. The MCE assured residents that additional security resources are being allocated to at-risk locations, encouraging continued economic activities without apprehension.
