DCOP Ken Yeboah

Ashanti police at war with gangs
The Ashanti Regional Police Command has announced
plans to arrest gangsters and other criminals in
the various towns and communities in the region.

DCOP Ken Yeboah, Ashanti Regional Police
Commander, who made the announcement, said the
police would be ruthless in dealing with the
criminal gangs.

His comment follows an attack on one Collins Opoku
by some youth of Abuakwa Zongo last Saturday
during the funeral of a 30-year-old man, Frimpong
aka Opope.

The youth, belonging to gang at Abuakwa, stormed
the venue and inflicted cutlass wounds on the
victim to show supremacy in the boisterous town.

DCOP Ken Yeboah, at a press briefing, told the
media that the suspects travelled there to avenge
an alleged assault on a member of the gang by
another gangster called ‘Rebel Leader.’

According to him, it took the intervention of the
police to restore law and order.

He added that eight men suspected to be members of
the group were arrested and later charged with the
use of offensive weapons and causing harm.

The police commander gave their names as Gabriel
Abdulai, Masawudu Issah aka Abodie, Iddrisu
Mohammed, 24; Musa Alidu, 20; Abdul Basit, 18;
Shamel Mohammed, 24; Abdul Shabuku, 24; and
Ibrahim Yahaya aka Butterfly, 19.

He disclosed that the suspects have since been
remanded into custody by the Nkawie Circuit to
reappear on May 4, 2017.
