Former CDS donates to NAVASCO
The former Chief of Defence Staff of the Ghana Armed Force, Air Marshal Michael Samson-Oje, has donated a multi-wash hand washing machine to his alma mater Navrongo Senior High School (NAVASCO) in the Upper East Region.
He made the donation to the school on behalf of the 1972 year group last Thursday through the National President of old NAVASCANS Union, Alhaji Mohammed Cambodia Haroon.
The machine was to help the school maintain good hygienic practices among students as part of COVID-19 prevention measure.
The Headmistress of NAVASCO, Mercy Babachuweh, expressed appreciation to the former CDS and the year group for their support to the school.
Alhaji Haroon expressed appreciation to the contribution of past students to the development of the school and urged them on.
In a related development, another past student Sylvester Minyilla, Chief Executive Officer of Minssap Ventures, producers of natural oil and powder of small scale enterprises, also presented quantities of sanitisers to the school, as his contribution to the fight against COVID-19 in the school.
The Police have arrested two suspects, including the alleged gang leader, in connection with the robbery attack on the Berekum Chelsea football team that resulted in the death of one of the players.
According to a Police update, the arrests were made after intelligence-led operations by security personnel.
One of the suspects sustained gunshot wounds during an exchange of fire with the police.
He has since been taken to a hospital where he is receiving medical treatment, while the other suspect remains in police custody assisting with investigations.
The Police indicated that efforts are ongoing to apprehend other members of the gang linked to the attack.
They assured the public that more details will be provided as investigations progress.
