  "account": "Gomoa Central Member of Parliament, Kwame Asare Obeng, widely known as A-Plus, has encouraged residents of Effutu and Gomoa to maintain tranquility as authorities strive to bring peace to the two communities. According to him, the unrest should not be perceived merely as a dispute between Effutu and Gomoa populations, but rather as a situation involving individuals allegedly instigating terror among residents. \"The problem lies not solely with Effutu and Gomoa, but rather with a group of people terrorizing others,\" A-Plus emphasized. He added that a roadmap is being formulated to tackle the root security issues and avoid further violence. A-Plus mentioned that Effutu's MP, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, had invited him and other stakeholders to meet with the families of victims who were either killed or injured in the recent conflicts. He noted that the delegation would initially visit the bereaved families and those who sustained injuries before moving on to implementing a comprehensive peace strategy. \"Afterwards, we will review the roadmap to execute measures for achieving enduring peace,\" A-Plus stated. He urged residents to exercise patience, expressing confidence in the leadership's commitment to find a lasting resolution. \"I urge everyone to be patient. The leadership is prepared to ensure everything functions as intended. So let us exercise patience,\" he said. A-Plus's remarks come amid escalating tensions between communities in Effutu and Gomoa following recent violent incidents that resulted in three deaths and injuries to 15 individuals, prompting calls for sustained security measures and dialogue to avert future attacks.",
