The Assembly Member of the Dohin Naayili Electoral Area, Abdul Wahab Fuseini told Accra-based Citi FM that the area has been disconnected because some residents attacked staff of the NEDco- VRA-during the discharge of their duties on Wednesday.

He said that some defaulting customers who were against routine checks on illegal connections deflated the lorry tyres of the workers who were in the area for the operation.

The Tamale Teaching Hospital, the St. Charles Minor seminary, Dr. Paa Kwesi Ndoum’s Suhupieli radio station and some private clinical laboratories are located in the Dohin Naayili community.
