The Half-Assini Police Station in the Western Region, has reopened barely 24 hours after being closed down due to a mob attack.<\/p>\n
An irritated mob from Ekpu near Half-Assini, allegedly led by their Assemblyman, Mr Peter Miezah Angate, on Wednesday morning besieged the Station in demand for one Assuah Boah, who was in custody.<\/p>\n
There was news that Boah had been beaten to death, whilst in custody, and the body placed in a morgue.<\/p>\n
The mob smashed windows, damaged the Counter, vital documents and the Official vehicle at the Station.<\/p>\n
The timely intervention of the Jomoro Member of Parliament, Mr Paul Essien, and personnel from Jaway Wharf detachment of the Ghana Navy near Half-Assini, saved the Station.<\/p>\n
No arrest has so far been made and no casualty reported from the incident.<\/p>\n
A visit to the Station around 16:00 hours on Thursday, saw Policemen on duty.<\/p>\n
The suspect was arrested on Sunday, March 26, for allegedly selling a stolen item in a case under Police investigations, to one Madam Boah Benie also from Ekpu.<\/p>\n
