Director of Public Affairs at the Police Headquarters, DSP Cephas Arthur has asked residents of Agape to ignore a letter written to them by a gang of armed robbers who call themselves �Armed Robbers Association of Ghana� (ARA).
The gang threatened to deal drastically with residents of Agape if they do not pay GH�500 per tenant through MTN mobile money.
They gave a deadline of December 30, 2013 to pay the money or stand the risk of being robbed.
Speaking in an interview on PEACE FM�s �Kokrokoo�, DSP Cephas Arthur indicated that the armed robbers have no right to collect such monies from the residents. He therefore asked residents of Agape not to pay the amount specified; adding the police service is working hard to get to the root of the issue.
�They cannot just do what they like in this country. It is not legitimate and so residents should not be alarmed; they should go about their normal duties�They should not pay any money to them; we are conducting investigations to get all those behind the letter,� he indicated.
