The agitated youth, who previously staged a protest at the office and residence of the District Chief Executive for Kadjebi, Wilson Agbanyo, over the death of two youngsters, have vandalized the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD) office at Papase in the Oti Region.

The ECG meters supplying power to the facility, along with other lighting installations, have been vandalised.

The cause of the attack is unclear, but it is believed to be linked to recent protests and disturbances in the area related to the death of the two youngsters from Yadzo.

The Ministry of National Security has refuted allegations of intentionally targeting and causing the deaths of two individuals in the Akan Constituency within the Oti Region.

This response comes in the wake of the tragic incident in the Yadzo community of the Oti Region on Monday, where two footballers reportedly lost their lives while being pursued by National Security Operatives.

The pursuit allegedly occurred as the individuals were attempting to transport cocoa beans to Togo.

In a statement issued on December 27, the National Security Ministry explained that “the incident leading to the death of the two persons was purely accidental and not borne out of a targeted operation."

Meanwhile, military personnel have been deployed to the district to ensure law and order following the destruction of ECG meters.
