Rev. Dr. Richard Nii Amartey Adesah, the President of the Up and Shine Foundation and a Minister of the Gospel, has commended three Assemblymen in the Nsawam Municipality for their courageous efforts in foiling criminals who were stealing railway timber.
In a letter of support addressed to the three Assemblymen, Rev. Adesah emphasized that Ghanaians must continue to model such patriotic deeds to secure the nation’s progress.
To ensure our progress, we must all aspire to such patriotic deeds. He said, “The days of viewing national assets as someone else’s property should be over.
After setting up an ambush deep into the night, three assemblymen—Abaase’s Iddrissu Musah, Adjenase Piem’s Amegbo Raphael, and Fante Town’s Abdul-Lateef Saeed—thwarted a plot by some bandits to steal wood from the railway lines that pass through the Nsawam township.
When the men from the Assembly confronted the thieves, they abandoned the wood they had stolen from the railroads and fled. Later, they set off an alarm, drawing neighbors to the area.
After that, the cops intervened to take command of the circumstances. The immediate past President of the Federation of Africa Amputee Football (FAAF), Rev. Dr. Richard Nii Amartey Adesah, has praised this brave and patriotic deed, calling it a great expression of love for the country.
Rev. Dr. Adesah noted that the children and young of today need to learn from it. “These are the things we should be encouraging so we can regain the days of the past where Ghanaians were ready to defend the nation at all times to the peril of their lives,” he said. He urged the country to honor these people so they might set an example for others.
