The Police have arrested two suspects – Nana Owusu Banahene and James Quainoo – in connection with some disturbances at Dzorwulu over a disputed land.
According to the police “the suspects allegedly organised some thugs with an excavator to demolish a four-bedroom apartment building at Dzorwulu on 24th October, 2022.”
The suspects reportedly attacked the occupants of the house before going ahead with the demolition.
The perpetrators upon seeing the police abandoned the excavator and bolted from the scene after police arrived on the scene.
“Police later had information that one of the vehicles belonging to the suspects had run into a ditch and was attacked by a mob who pelted them with stones, injured one of the suspects, James Quainoo and set his car ablaze”, a statement from the police service said.
Police proceeded to the place and the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) was called in to help put out the fire.
The injured suspect is at the hospital receiving medical attention [his photograph could not be taken due to his condition].
Investigation has so far revealed that no one was shot during the incident.
Investigation continues and all available footages on the incident are being reviewed as part of the investigation process.
Efforts are underway to arrest all other perpetrators to face justice.
