The statue of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo near Effia Nkwanta Hospital has been vandalized, with the entire structure toppled and severely damaged. The head and sections up to the knee level were smashed.
This incident follows a prior attack on the statue just weeks ago when part of its leg was cut off. The identity of those responsible remains unknown.
The statue, erected to honor the former president, has been a source of controversy. Many criticized its installation, citing unfulfilled promises by Akufo-Addo’s government to the Western Region. The fact that the statue stands on an untarred road further fueled public dissatisfaction.
Reactions on social media suggest that the latest act of vandalism is welcomed by some. Many commenters expressed their opposition to the statue, questioning its relevance and significance.
The vandalism of the Akufo-Addo statue highlights the growing frustration among citizens and calls attention to the unaddressed needs of the Western Region.
