Breaking News: Akufo Addo's Statue in Sekondi-Takoradi Destroyed
In a shocking turn of events, the statue of ex-President Akufo Addo in Sekondi-Takoradi has been completely destroyed. This is not the first time the statue has been vandalized; on December 16, 2024, the leg of the statue was damaged, but it was promptly repaired. However, it appears that some individuals were waiting for Akufo Addo to leave office before striking again.¹
According to reports, the statue was destroyed by a group of angry youth at dawn when the area was deserted. The identity of the perpetrators remains unknown, but it is clear that they were determined to remove the statue from public view.
The statue, which was erected at the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital roundabout, was meant to honor Akufo Addo's contributions to the region during his presidency. However, its construction was met with controversy, with some critics questioning the timing and relevance of the statue amidst unfulfilled government promises and stalled projects in the region.
The destruction of the statue has sparked mixed reactions from the public. While some have condemned the act as vandalism and an attack on the legacy of the ex-President, others have seen it as a justified response to the perceived failures of the Akufo Addo administration.
The Ghana Police Service has launched an investigation into the incident, with preliminary findings indicating that the statue's left leg was damaged. Efforts are being made to apprehend the perpetrators and bring them to justice.
As the investigation unfolds, one thing is clear: the destruction of Akufo Addo's statue has become a lightning rod for public sentiment and a reflection of the ongoing debate about the legacy of the ex-President.
