[contextly_sidebar id=”nN9oNfZLDk59AXNt9Rbt6sIU3v7uGPmW”]The suit is seeking orders, directives, and declarations aimed at securing the basic human and economic rights of the affected persons.

The suit, dated August 31, 2017, was filed at the Human Rights Division of Tema High Court A, and is expected to be moved on Monday, October 30, 2017.

According to the writ, on March 3, 2017, a TDC taskforce, without any court order, demolished the workshop, residence and animal ranch of victims.

It argued that this unlawful act rendered families homeless, causing loss of earning and inconvenience.

The complainants alleged that the taskforce used pepper spray on victims of the demolishing exercise, causing eye injury to some of them.

It said a complaint was filed with the Sakumono Police, who arrested Alhaji TDC, the man who is said to have used pepper spray on the victims, but was later granted bail.

Excellent Ghana said it had to resort to the law court after attempts to reason with TDC over the actions of its taskforce proved futile.

The civil society group urged the Inspector-General of Police, David Asante-Apeatu, to caution the Sakumono Police to serve with integrity or face similar court action in the future.

The Minister of Interior has come under criticisms for allegedly abandoning his post in the midst of the crises at Bimbilla.

But a press statement issued by Mr. Agalga indicated that the Minister only obtained the permission of the President to proceed on his annual leave.

It noted that “ the impression being created that the Minister has vacated his post while people are dying in this country must be debunked”

It clarified that the Minister of Defense, Hon Mark Woyongo, has been acting as the Minister for Interior since the Minister proceeded on leave.

“It is important to note that the Deputy Minister for the Interior, Hon. James Agalga and other security heads in the country are all at post,” it noted.

Speaking on Eyewitness News, Mr. Agalga further stated that Mr. Kwesi Ahwoi should not be criticized for his decision since he followed due processes before embarking on his annual leave.

“To say that Mr. Kwesi Ahwoi was in Brazil and was enjoying himself while Bimbilla was in turmoil presupposes that when he left, there was a vacuum created.

I want you to understand that during the crises at Bimbilla, there was somebody acting and that person acted in a way that an Interior Minister ought to have acted,” Mr. Agalga said.
