Over one hundred pigs were killed in the Yagbon residence, a suburb of Damongo by the youth of the community.

The youth numbering more than 30, armed with guns and cutlasses went round the entire area in search of pigs that loiter the area.

Speaking to thepressradio.com, the leader of the youth, Mr Abdul Aziz Mahama said the pigs in the area are destroying gardens of residence, polluting water stored at the homes of residents, killing newly born sheep, goats, fowls and even enters into the Royal cemetery in Damongo township to exhume bodies especially babies buried in the cemetery.

According to Mr Aziz, several appeals were made to owners of these pigs to confine them but were ignored.

Even the palace of the overlord had become the resting place for these animals including mosques in Damongo.

Yagbonwura was therefore the first person to approve the killing of the animals after a three-week ultimatum to confine them.

The three weeks elapsed with the pigs still hovering the area, making the youth to kill them at several locations in the area including the Yagbonwura's Palace, Damongo Senior High School etc.
