]]> Mr. Mutawakil Abdulai, the acting Upper East Regional Manager of the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA), has said there is a syndicate in the region engaged in the procurement and issuance of fake licenses and number plates.

He therefore cautioned the public to be wary of it.

“We thought that some people from other places were bringing fake number plates to sell to innocent people in the region, but we have now found out that a syndicate within the Bolgatanga Township is involved in the illegal business and we are putting intelligence together to trace those people”, he said.

Mr. Abdulai said the illegal activity is causing financial loss to the DVLA.

“Every year, we register more than 8,000 motorcycles, but we suspect that the syndicate sells about 3,000 fake number plates, which is not a small amount of money.”

He said last August, the DVLA together with the police service arrested two suspects in the Ashanti Region for engaging in the production of fake number plates, and that might have trickled down to the Upper East, he added.

Mr. Abdulai cautioned those who patronize the fake number plates to desist from doing so, because such number plates could not be used to trace stolen vehicles.

He entreated the public to apply for their vehicle and motorbike licenses only at the DVLA, and urged all to be wary of fake number plates and report to the appropriate authorities on such deals.

]]> Residents of Sika Ne Asem in the Western Region and its surrounding communities say they now live in fear following the death of five people on the Fulesu River.

The River, which serves as a means of transport to the communities claimed the life of five people on Saturday.

The bodies of the deceased are yet to be retrieved.

Reports indicate that the rescue effort which is locally coordinated is being hampered by constant rains in the area.

The state of a wooden bridge on the river scares most of the residents.

According to a resident from the area, Fredrick Quansah, a project was initiated about eight years ago to construct a metal bridge to ease transportation across the river.

He however stated that construction works on the bridge had been abandoned.

“There is no other road with the exception of the bridge. Wherever you are coming from, you need to cross the river before you can get to the other community to get a vehicle,” Mr. Quansah explained.

He stated that although residents in the community are worried about the development, they have no other means of transportation to resort to.
