At a press briefing, the area Manager of Techiman at the VRA station, Mr. Charles Yekunu cautioned residents against dealing with the criminals.
“We don’t sell meters, anybody who sells meters to them is a criminal and anybody who receives or buys those meters is also an accomplice. Therefore, if we get such people, we are not going to arrest or deal with the seller but the buyer as well.”
He added: “We want you (the media) to get this information to them because they are not aware that even the buyers are also culprits, so that we can stop this menace.”
