Unknown individuals have destroyed the statue of former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo at Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital.
Police confirmed receiving a report about the incident and immediately visited the scene but found the statue already damaged.
A source close to the police revealed that they received information about the incident and promptly rushed to the scene “By the time we got there, the damage had already been done.”
