Some people really want to test the patience of Mother Ghana. National Security operatives recently moved swiftly to arrest suspects engaged in illegal sand winning at Sewua along the Accra-Kumasi Expressway.
This critical highway corridor had just been painstakingly cleared by the Ghana Armed Forces after weeks of hard labor. Instead of protecting public state property, some greedy individuals thought it wise to turn the fresh path into their personal sand mine.
The military engineering corps previously spent weeks clearing the 175.6-kilometre right of way to pave the way for national development. Seeing unscrupulous operators dig up these exact spots leaves many citizens wondering what is actually wrong with some folks.
Security personnel had to fire warning shots during the operation as the defiant suspects attempted to flee the scene. Heavy trucks and equipment were successfully impounded and towed away to the Fourth Battalion of Infantry for thorough investigations. Law enforcement agencies must deal ruthlessly with these culprits to serve as a strong deterrent to others.
