Mr. Asore said, the location of  Berekum in the region is a fertile ground  for activities suck as child trafficking, drugs and terrorist activities the people in the community should get prepared to face future eventualities since the town is located in the centre of the region. He observed that foreigners from Ivory Coast coming into Ghana from either Dormaa or the Sampa border will pass through Berekum either to stay or to other parts of the country.
