Two men have been arrested at the Osu Cemetery for illegally digging a grave.
The two were arrested following intensified efforts by the Korle Klottey Municipal Assembly to curb unlawful exhumations and the unauthorised sale of burial spaces.
The suspects, identified as Eric Annan and Joseph Donkor, were apprehended in the early hours of Friday, 6 February, during a joint operation involving the cemetery sexton and officers of the security task force.
The two suspects have been handed over to the Osu Police for further investigations and possible prosecution under the law.
The arrest was confirmed by Hon. George Abeiku Annan, the Assemblyman for the Kinkawe Electoral Area.
“This action is part of our commitment to restoring order and protecting public cemeteries in the municipality,” he said.
On February 5, 2026, the Hon. Municipal Chief Executive held a press conference expressing worry over illegal exhumations and the sale of burial plots at the Osu Cemetery.
The assembly then deployed a security task force to take full charge of the facility and prevent further violations.
The Korle Klottey Municipal Assembly assured residents in the area that those behind the incident are arrested.
“We will ensure that all illegal and unethical practices are brought to an end,” the assembly stated.
