The police chief urged residents of Kumasi to go about their normal businesses without fear, and sought the cooperation of the public for effective policing.
He said anyone with useful information that could lead to the arrest of suspected criminals in the region should make it available to the command, adding that the identity of informants would be protected at all times.
