Obrempong Kwesi Amoh Kyeretwie I, the Chief of Abirim and the acting Akyem Kotoku Gyaasehene, organised the ceremony and said the church played a key role in the progress of every country. He said it was the duty of everyone to report strange characters to the Neighbourhood Watch Committee to help arrest them to prevent crimes in the community. He said the Traditional Council had passed a regulation to prevent commercial motor riders, popularly known as 'Okada,' from working after 2200 hours. That, he said, was to help minimise the rampant armed robbery cases in the community and called on the Assembly to provide more streetlights for the community.
