One Cecilia Nkansah, who is the owner of the wele, told Adom News‘ Kwasi Siaw that that was not the first time she had been robbed“I realized my wele had been stolen again while preparing to go to the market but I ignored as I always do only for me to later receive a call that the thief has been apprehended,” she narrated.
