Two leading members of the Jomoro Constituency National Democratic Congress are in Police Custody for allegedly defrauding fishermen in the area.
They are Mr Gideon Konibah, Constituency Chairman and Mr Augustine Ofori Andoh, Deputy Constituency Secretary.
The District Chief Fishermen, Mr Emmanuel Odwiri, made this known to the GNA in an interview at Half-Assini in the Western Region on Friday.
He said they were arrested at Agona Nkwanta, in the Ahanta West District.
Mr Odwiri said they had information about their presence at a Party meeting in the area and consequently caused their arrest.
He indicated that they were picked by the Agona Nkwanta Police who later handed them over to their Half-Assini counterparts for investigations.
He said they were given one week to pay back the money they allegedly defrauded from the fishermen to purchase outboard motors for them.
A police source said the two would be arraigned

IF NANA ADDO BELIEVED IN THE ENLISTMENT OF ECG WHY DIDN'T HE MAKE THE ENLISTMENT OF ECG HIS CAMPAIGN MESSAGE? ECG WORKERS VOTED FOR NANA ADDO BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT NANA WOULD BE MORE RESPONSIBLE THAN MAHAMA. I WANT TO KNOW, NANA, WHATS IN IT FOR YOU??
THE SALE OF ECG IS SIMPLY IRRESPONSIBLE. NO ONE CAN AFFORD ELECTRICITY IF IT IS PRIVATIZED. OTHER AFRICAN COUNTRIES WHICH ENLISTED THEIR POWER ARE FINDING IT HARD TO PAY FOR ECG. CEMENT PRICE WAS RELATIVELY STABLE UNTIL GHACEM WAS ENLISTED. THE ENLISTMENT OF ECG IS A SIGN OF INCOMPETENCE. ITS AS IF OUR LEADERS DONT WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING.
