Alhaji Haruna Bukari Dabre, Assemblyman for Mamobi East Electoral Area in the Greater Accra Region, has called on all law-abiding citizens to help fight lawlessness in the country, for rule of law and order to prevail.
He said it was about time illegalities and criminality were treated with the contempt that they deserved and appealed to the law enforcement agencies to assist in breaking the canker.
Alhaji Dabre, who made the call in a statement to the Ghana News Agency, said the phenomenon of criminality has taken a sizable number of the youth, who involve themselves in wee smoking, phone-snatching, hijacking of properties, land guards and armed robbery.
He urged opinion leaders to rise up against these barbaric acts, otherwise "progeny will not forgive us for turning our eyes to the wrong direction for crime, small or big to take place."
The Assemblyman said some few weeks ago, a group attacked and took over two toilet structures at 11/11 at Urban Aid and Brukutu, which are under contractual agreement in Mamobi East and stole a day's sale of about GH�80.00.
Alhaji Dabre said the illegal take over of the facilities have been reported to many places such as the Nima District Police, Divisional Police, the Regional Police Commander and the Member of Parliament for East Ayawaso, but the situation has not been attended to.
