The Police in the Atebubu-Amantin Municipality in the Bono East Region have arrested five individuals, including a matron and a landlord, for allegedly stealing food intended for Senior High School (SHS) students.
The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Atebubu-Amantin Municipality, Edward Owusu, confirmed that the suspects were involved in sabotaging the government’s free SHS policy. The stolen items included over 24 bags of beans, 40 bags of 50kg rice, oil, and tin tomatoes meant for Atebubu SHS and Konkrompe SHS.
Acting on a tip-off, the MCE informed the police that the school’s foodstuff had been stolen and stored in a nearby house. Upon arriving at the location, the police and BNI found the stolen items and the suspects admitted to stealing them from the school. According to the MCE, it was not the first time stolen items had been stored in that location.
The matron, along with the four other suspects, has been released on bail and is expected to appear in court on Tuesday to face charges.
