As part of efforts to ensure a safe and peaceful Christmas and New Year celebration, security agencies in Ho, alongside the Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, conducted a routine security march through major streets of the Ho Municipality on December 23, 2025.
The march, which started at the Ho Trafalgar Taxi Station and ended at the Volta Barracks, drew the attention of commuters, traders, and residents along the route. Personnel from various security agencies participated, demonstrating unity, preparedness, and commitment to maintaining law and order during the festive season.
Addressing the security personnel after the exercise, the Volta Regional Minister commended their collaboration and dedication, urging them to remain vigilant in protecting lives and property throughout the Christmas period.
In an interview with Adom News, Air Force Officer Commanding Naval Training Command, Commodore James Adongo Agbambeire, explained that the march was a preventive measure aimed at reassuring the public and deterring criminal activities during the festivities.
He noted that the Christmas and New Year period is often characterised by increased human and vehicular movement, social gatherings, and commercial activities, which can create opportunities for crime. According to him, the march sends a strong signal of the readiness and visibility of security agencies to respond swiftly to any threats.
Commodore Agbambeire added that the exercise also strengthens collaboration and operational coordination among the various security services. He assured residents of Ho and surrounding communities that adequate security measures have been put in place before, during, and after the festive season, and urged the public to cooperate with security personnel by reporting any suspicious activities.
Meanwhile, the Public Relations Officer of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) Volta Command, Ado I Hope Bedzra, told Adom News that the Service is fully prepared to respond to fire outbreaks and other emergencies during and after the Christmas festivities to save lives and property.
Some residents welcomed the initiative, describing it as timely and reassuring. The security agencies also used the opportunity to encourage the public to celebrate responsibly, obey the law, and prioritise safety as the year comes to an end.
