A group of irate youth besieged the premises of a popular brothel in the Adum area of Kumasi, seeking to revenge alleged police killing of their colleague.
Twenty-five
year old trader, Kofi Asamoah, was allegedly stabbed with a bottle during a
scuffle with some commercial workers.
A
police-military patrol team arrived at the scene to arrest the bleeding man as
he threatened to retaliate.
In
an attempt to push him into their vehicle, one of the personnel shot and killed
him. Asamoah’s colleagues then stormed the premises and vandalized property of
the prostitutes, mainly Nigerians.
The
confrontation between the deceased and the commercial sex workers occurred at
about 4:30 am on Tuesday.
Police
however claim the deceased attempted to stab a military officer on the patrol
team.
Public
Relations Officer, Chief Inspector Mohammed Tanko at the Regional Command says
the public should endeavour to volunteer any information contrary to the
current police report.
Some
residents have called for the ejection of the prostitutes whose presence they
claim attracts armed robbers and other criminals to the area.
Police
continue to patrol the area to avert any possible repraisals.
The
body of the deceased has since been deposited at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital
Mortuary.
