Unknown individuals steal from tombs in Dormaa cemetery, Bono Region

At the Dormaa Ahenkuro cemetery in the Bono Area, about ten tombs have been pillaged by unidentified individuals.

An assemblyman representing the Broniasua electoral district, Thomas Nsia Yaw, claims that about two weeks ago, residents first noticed a stink coming from the neighborhood.

Further assessment indicated that it emanated from the area have come from the cemetery which had been closed for some time now as a result of continuous entombment.

Speaking to Adom News, he noted that he went to the cemetery and has seen about 10 to 15 graves being opened by unknown persons.

The Assembly member explains that similar incidents occurred in the same Cemetery about 2 years ago which took the intervention of Nananom, the Assembly, and other stakeholders to put a stop to.

It is, however, unclear yet why the rationale behind its resurgence.

But he suspects the scrap dealers indicating that they are fond of removing iron rods from buildings and the tombs to sell.

The assemblyman added that his outfit will ensure that perpetrators are arrested.

Mr Nsiah also lamented how difficult it has been getting personnel to guard the facility since the security man died.

He says the assembly is talking terms with some people to ensure they get someone to guard the cemetery to prevent these nation wreckers from causing harm to people’s tombs which keeps affecting the health of the living.
