V/R police command arrests 5 over Krachi West DCE ousting

The Volta regional police command has arrested five suspects in connection with the locking out of the District Chief Executive Officer for Krachi West in the Oti Region a few days ago.

The irate youth of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) accused the DCE of not working in their interest.

They stormed Mr Douglas Osei-Nti’s office in droves on Tuesday, drove him out and locked up the place.

A statement issued by the police named the suspects as Mathias Banyolonso, Sarfo Sunkwa, Amos Eseikpor, Tijani Shaibu and Murtala Yakubu.

They are believed to be former constituency executives of the Krachi West arm of the NPP.

They are being investigated for assault by imprisonment, offensive conduct and causing unlawful damage among others.

The police, in the statement signed by ACP David Eklu, Director-General, Public Affairs, cautioned the general public, especially the youth against using unlawful means to get redress.
