A/R: Nahinso Chief Arrested For Undertaking Road Infrastructure Projects Without Official Permission.

Officials of the Asokwa Municipal Assembly caused the arrest of the Chief of Nahinso, Nana Addo Boaman, for undertaking road works without official permission.

The Chief, who was arrested and granted bail over the weekend, insisted that he took the initiative after authorities failed to address the road situation, which has been causing flooding in the area despite persistent appeals from motorists and residents.

For years, residents and motorists in Nahinso, a community in the Asokwa Municipality that borders the Bosomtwi District and Oforikrom Municipality, have lamented the poor road network.

The road construction was abandoned after the drains were built, which, according to road users, has worsened their plight.

Pits created on portions of the road due to alleged sand-winning activities pose significant threats to road users.

These pits often result in flooding on sections of the road, making movement difficult and affecting nearby houses.

Nana Addo Boaman began filling the pits and repairing the road to make it motorable despite failed attempts to get authorities to fix the problem.

However, some officials from the Asokwa Municipal Assembly stopped him, emphasizing that he had no permission to do so.

He was arrested by police at the Asokwa District Command but later granted bail over the weekend. The Assembly insists the Chief did not follow the proper procedures before carrying out the road works.

Despite the arrest and persistent threats, Nana Boaman has stated that he would not give up on fixing the road.

Meanwhile, some residents and road users beg the government to allow the chief to assist them by repairing the abandoned.
