Residents of Achimota are lamenting the increasing criminal activities at the Achimota Old Station and its surrounding areas.
Traders and drivers claim that criminals, disguised as con artists, manipulate commuters to rob them of their phones, money and other valuables.
As a result, the residents are calling for enhanced security measures to address the growing menace.
Some traders and drivers shared how dire the situation has become.
“They always pretend as though they want to help you, but they end up robbing you. There are also boys who pick pockets. If you use this stretch and you’re not careful, they will steal your valuables,” said one trader.
Another resident, a driver added, “Someone’s phone was snatched while they were on a phone call earlier today. Right in full view of people, you can see these activities happening.”
