Accra, Jan. 21, GNA - Dr. Ahmed Mustapha, Member of Parliament for Ayawaso East on Thursday appealed residents of Nima to be law abiding. He said a lot of respectable people were living in the area and would therefore not be fair for people to judge the area by the misconduct of few miscreants who took the law into their own hands. Dr. Mustapha made the appeal when he presenting a cheque for GH¢1000 to the Nima Police Command towards development projects. He expressed concern about congestion in the police cells, which exerted pressure on amenities at the premises.

Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Mabel Artheh, Deputy Divisional Commander, who received the cheque, appealed for the expansion of the cells at the Nima Police station. She said the cells which had the capacity to accommodate 35 inmates sometimes keep 100, leading to unpleasant circumstances. ASP Artheh appealed to the government to consider expanding office accommodation for officers o to avoid the use of corridors as improvised offices.
