According to him, various killings have been reported for the past two weeks and this demands urgent attention.
“It is unfortunate that just recently, brutalities which have not happened in Gbetsile is being heard of but we assure you that this should not take us back, that the situation is under control.
But before we are going to erase this situation, we all need to come on board and fight this canker,” he emphasised.

The annual thanksgiving service was initiated by the Kpone-Gbetsile Divisional Council in collaboration with the Gbestile Council of Churches (GCC) to appreciate God for his protection.
It also aims to unify the people of Gbetsile for meaningful development and peaceful co-existence.
Nii Kojo Teye disclosed the traditional authority is consulting the elders of Gbetsile to institute a community watchdog committee to complement the effort of the police in curbing crime in the area.
“Very soon we will finalize the setup of our local security committee, otherwise known as watchdog committee and we will begin to deal ruthlessly with those unscrupulous few individuals perpetrating the killings,” he stated.
The chief of Gbetsile further added, “whilst striving towards the provision of the necessary social amenities for economic development, we need a 24-hour police patrol team in Gbetsile to ensure the place becomes safe again for my people”.
