V/R: Angry residents attack Akatsi Police with cutlass, stones at Suipe Kpelikope LISTEN 1
Angry residents of Suipe-Kpelikope, a farming community in the Akatsi South Municipality of Volta Region, have attacked and blocked some police officers, who were to effect an arrest.
Six officers were dispatched to the community to investigate a case, when the youth attacked them.
Briefing the Ghana News Agency (GNA) after the incidence, Chief Superintendent Joseph Atsu Dzineku, the Akatsi South Municipal Police Commander, said they received a complaint from the Social Welfare Department at Akatsi about a case it was investigating.
He said the case related to a fight by relatives on the custody of a child, which Mr Emmanuel Dorkordi, the Akatsi South Director of Social Welfare was seeking police assistance after several invitations by the feuding parties proved futile.
