Police hunt for man suspected to have diverted 900 bags of fertilizer

The suspect, Nyarko Abronoma is believed to have diverted these bags of fertilizer to his Aboso and Bompieso warehouses after allegedly conniving with the chief farmer at the area.

The illegal act was uncovered Saturday, June 4 after a resident of Aboso tipped off the Prestea Huni-Valley District Chief Executive Robert Wisdom Cudjoe during his visit to the community.

The Police upon a swift response moved to the Aboso warehouse to lock up the place where they allegedly counted over seven hundred bags of the Government's Free Fertilizer.

Meanwhile, the suspect, Mr. Abronoma, had to hire the services of taxis to cart the other bags at his Bompieso warehouse to nearby villages on hearing that the Police were arriving at the scene.

Unfortunately one driver was arrested and now helping with police investigation.

Sharing of the government's fertilizer has for the past years been hit with dishonest practices by those responsible for sharing to farmers.

Hence, several of the farmers are denied their share of the fertilizer.

The behaviour has therefore awakened government and local authorities who have found it necessary to track down and flush out those responsible for the act.

The police are therefore appealing to residents living in and around the Prestea Huni-Valley District to alert them of the whereabout of Mr. Nyarko Abronoma who has since been at large.
