The Wa-Naa, Naa Fuseini Seidu Pelpuo IV, has called for a comprehensive report from the police in connection with the series of killings in Wa.
Two security guards were found dead on Tuesday, June 18, 2024, a situation that has left residents in fear.
About 13 people were also killed between 2022 and 2023.
The traditional ruler and overlord of the Waala traditional area underscored the need for the police to deal with the matter comprehensively.
He made the request during an urgent meeting with the Upper West regional security council.
“The Traditional Council has as a matter of urgency, requested for an update on the investigations into the previous ritual murders. We cannot fight against fresh murders if we have no idea of what happened to those people apprehended after the previous ones. This has, to a large extent, dampened the spirit of volunteerism in many people,” he said.
He emphasized the need for collaboration between security agencies and local volunteers to prevent further life loss.
Naa Pelpuo urged residents to share information with authorities and urged landlords and hoteliers to monitor and report suspicious activities to the police.
Meanwhile, it has been agreed that measures such as enhanced street lighting, increased police presence, and patrols, along with robust cooperation between security personnel and neighbourhood watch groups, would be implemented.
