The Upper East Regional police are urging the general public, particularly residents, to promptly claim 27 unidentified bodies currently being held in their mortuary. These bodies were gathered from different locations throughout the region between the years 2020 and 2023. The purpose of this action is to alleviate congestion in the morgue, improve operational efficiency, and allow relatives the opportunity to give their deceased loved ones a dignified burial.
