The Chief of Nahinso, Nana Addo Boaman, has been detained by the Asokwa Municipal Assembly for carrying out road repairs without official authorization.

Nana Boaman clarified that he took on the road repairs due to repeated failures by authorities to address the deteriorating road conditions, which have caused ongoing flooding despite numerous appeals from local residents and motorists.

He was granted bail over the weekend, according to citinewsroom.com.

Residents and motorists in Nahinso, a community within the Asokwa Municipality, bordering the Bosomtwi District and Oforikrom Municipality, have long been complaining about the declining state of the roads.

The road work was halted after the drainage systems were installed, which, according to users, has exacerbated their problems.

Pits left on parts of the road from alleged sand-winning activities pose serious risks to road users.

These pits frequently lead to flooding, complicating travel and impacting nearby homes.

In response, Nana Addo Boaman began filling the pits and repairing the road to improve its condition after his efforts to prompt the authorities were unsuccessful.

However, officials from the Asokwa Municipal Assembly halted his work, citing the lack of authorization for the repairs.

The police at the Asokwa District Command arrested him, but he was later released on bail over the weekend.

The Assembly argues that the chief did not adhere to the proper procedures before commencing the road work.

Despite his arrest and ongoing challenges, Nana Boaman has vowed to continue working on the road repairs.
