Growth Aid hands over mechanised bore hole to Krobo Girls School
Growth Aid, a Non-Governmental Organisation has handed over a new mechanised borehole with an overhead poly tank to Krobo Girls Presbyterian Senior High School (SHS) in the Lower ManyaKrobo Municipality of the Eastern Region.
The initiative is under the organisation’s Sustainable Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Project.
Under the initiative, the NGO had provided the Lower ManyaKrobo Municipal Assembly with 25 new mechanised boreholes and repaired six faulty ones within the middle belt areas.
Dr. Joe Lambongang, Executive Director of Growth Aid in his address acknowledged the unique support from the Latter-Day Saints Charities over the years for providing potable water to Ghanaians.
He said the NGO would continue to partner the assembly to ensure that all communities and institutions within the municipality would have access to clean water.
He, therefore, advised the school authority and the student body to use the facility with care.
For his part, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Mr Simon KwekuTetteh commended Growth Aid for helping to develop the municipality through the provision of boreholes which many communities and institutions had benefitted.
He assured that the assembly would always collaborate and support the NGO to enable it extend the gesture to the other communities within the municipality.
The Headmistress, Mrs. Betty Aduhene-Chinbuah thanked the donors and the MCE for selecting their school among the lot within the municipality.
She used the opportunity to appeal to other NGOs and individuals to provide the School with more washrooms.
She said that the washrooms in the school were not enough to accommodate the over 2,000 student population considering the fact that these girls “need to practise personal hygiene”.

The Ghana Police Service has arrested three (3) suspects in connection with a case of possession of narcotic drugs and engaging in prohibited drug-related activities within the Accra metropolis.
On April 10, 2026, the Special Operations Assistant to the Inspector General of Police received intelligence that a group of individuals were planning to engage in the sale of suspected narcotic drugs at Dzorwulu in Accra.
A surveillance operation was mounted and on 11th April 2026, a Police team proceeded to the area and arrested two suspects, Bright Ayivor and Ifeanyi Ijeoba.
The suspects were found in possession of twenty-two (22) compressed substances suspected to be cocaine, which were being prepared for sale to a prospective buyer.
Further interrogation of the suspects led to the identification of a third suspect, Kwabena Botwe as a key figure in the drug trade.
A follow-up operation at Caprice resulted in his arrest after Police mounted surveillance during a planned transaction involving proceeds from the sale of the suspected drugs.
The suspect later led Police to his residence at Greda Estates, where a search resulted in the retrieval of an amount of GHc400,000 and a counting machine.
According to the police, during the operation, he attempted to bribe the arresting officers with an additional GHc420,000, which has been retained as evidence.
All the suspects are currently in Police custody assisting investigations and will be put before the court.
