Ho, June 25, GNA - Military officers have identified the drum-like object washed ashore at Abelikope near Aflao on Monday as a buoy used in anchoring ships.
Assistant Superintendent of Police Ahmed Issah Yakubu, Aflao District Police Commander, told the Ghana News Agency that a hole was punched at its side but nothing came out of it.
The object is the size of four 50-gallon drums, is seven feet long, yellow in colour and has two metal hooks and a flat plate resembling a satellite disc.
