Following the press conference addressed by the Hon. Municipal Chief Executive on Thursday, 5 February, concerning unlawful exhumations and the unauthorised sale of burial spaces at the Osu Cemetery, a security task force was deployed to take full charge of the facility.
In the early hours of today, officers of the security task force, working in collaboration with the cemetery sexton and Hon. George Abeiku Annan, Assembly man for Kinkawe Electoral Area arrested two individuals who were found illegally digging a grave within the Osu Cemetery.
The suspects, identified as Eric Annan and Joseph Donkor, were arrested at the Osu Cemetery and have since been handed over to the Osu Police for further investigations and possible prosecution in accordance with the law.
The Korle Klottey Municipal Assembly reiterates its commitment to restoring order, safeguarding public cemeteries, and ensuring that all illegal and unethical activities at the Osu Cemetery are brought to an end.
