Aflao chief arrested for defying Police order

The Aflao stool claimant, Torgbui Afla Detu and five others have been arrested by the Police in the Volta region for defying their order.

The Police warned the chief against entering the town after security intelligence revealed his actions could spark violence.

The youth of the area on Thursday demonstrated against the Police after citing Torgbui Afla Detu in the town and accused the Police of conspiring with the chief.

The chief’s actions nearly resulted in clashes between the opposing factions.

The irate youth were seen barricading some of the major roads and burning lorry tyres amidst chanting of war songs.

The Volta Regional Police Commander DCOP Peterkin Gyinaie who confirmed the chief’s arrest to Citi News said the he will be processed for court for breaching a court order.

“The Municipal Security Committee had placed an injunction against his going there, but he managed to go there and this morning out of that there was a commotion in the town so we had to bring him down for him to explain why the Court had ruled that he should exercise patience and not go there but contravened the order,”he explained.
