The menace confronting the people of Agogo with regard to the teeming presence of the nomadic cattle-rearing Fulanis on their land is a great cause for national concern.

The problem which has, and continues to, culminate in deaths, rapes of married women, and deliberate arsonous destruction of farms, to the citizens of Agogo.

This situation, according to Nana Akufo-Addo, is unacceptable as other countries across the world have put in place policies, which have meant that, such clashes have been forestalled.

"Brazil has a population of 200 million people, and 213 million cattle. There are more cattle in Brazil than human beings. However, ranching and the implementation of policies have ensured that this situation has not created any problems. Humans do not mingle with the cattle. These are the kinds of policies we are coming to put in place, when, God-willing, we win the elections, to ensure that this Fulani menace is ended once and for all," he added.

Nana Addo made this known when he ended his 5-day tour of the Ashanti Region, with a courtesy call on the Krontihene of Agogo, Nana Kwame Nti.

He also assured that the issue of unsolved murders in Agogo, as a result of the clashes, which has led to some people taking the law into their own hands will be a thing of the past.

"We must make sure that the law is enforced. We are coming to strengthen and equip the Ghana Police Service with the requisite tools, and also enhanced conditions of service to ensure that they carry out the law to the latter. When someone does wrong, that person must be punished without fear or favour," he added.
