A Koforidua Circuit Court has remanded the 14 suspects who were arrested on Monday for masterminding a demonstration, that led to an attack at the Somanya branch of Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).<\/p>\n

The 14 led some residents to also vandalize the Somanya Police station in the Eastern Region, where they freed four suspects in police cell.<\/p>\n

They were charged with causing unlawful damage, conspiracy to riot, rioting with weapons, unlawful assembling and causing unlawful damage to properties.<\/p>\n

\nThe court presided over by Ms. Mercy Adei Kotei refused a plea for bail for the accused persons when their lawyer, Simon Animey requested for bail.<\/p>\n

The lawyer in an interview with Citi News<\/strong> indicated his disappointment in the court’s refusal to grant his clients bail.<\/p>\n

The lawyer also served notice that he will go to the High Court to have his demands met.<\/p>\n

Ms Mercy Adei Kotei explained that, the suspects will interfere with Police Investigations if granted bail, and thus remanded them to reappear on 13th June 2017.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of angry youth on Monday evening besieged the Somanya Police station, vandalized property, set fire to a police car, also freed four suspected criminals in police custody.<\/p>\n

Their action saw many officers around the station, fleeing for their lives.<\/p>\n

Their action was sparked by the arrest of a resident, a Assembly Member, who is accused of masterminding an earlier violent demonstration against the ECG over high bills.<\/p>\n
