The Shama Constituency NPP office
DAILY GUIDE has gathered that the Shama Constituency office of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Western Region was broken into by some criminals last Thursday, and they made away with almost all the valuable items in the office.
Some of the items stolen included desktop computers, printers, ceiling fans, a decoder and flat-screen television sets among others.
The alleged thieves also ransacked all the drawers at the office for cash but it is unclear if there was money there.
The Constituency Chairman, Richard Degraft, who confirmed the theft, said the hoodlums used the backdoor after breaking the burglar-proof.
“They used the backdoor. We already have burglar-proof at that door but they destroyed it before gaining access to the place. When I got to my office, I realised the place has been ransacked. Now I am unable to stay at the office because the place is not safe,” he told DAILY GUIDE.
According to the chairman, the burglars also broke all the inner doors in the office to see if they could find any valuable items.
He said the party has reported the matter to the Shama District Police Command which has started investigations into the burglary.
“There was a police barrier at where our office is located but the barrier has been relocated and I believe that was why the thieves were able to carry out their operation,” he said.
Constituency Secretary, Emmanuel Mark Ackon, said apart from the furniture, the thieves bolted with almost everything in the office.
“We are collaborating with the police to investigate the issue and we are hopeful that the thieves will be apprehended,” he said.
The office was constructed for the party by the former Member of Parliament (MP) for Shama, Ato Panford, who was defeated by Erickson Abakah, a legal practitioner in the party’s 2020 parliamentary primaries, and now the MP for the area.
