Police Search For Man Behind Illegal Demolition Exercise At Pampaso No. 1

The Police in the Eastern Region are on a manhunt for one Kofi Acquah, alleged to have led an illegal demolition exercise at Pampaso No. 1, a community near Teacher Mante on main Accra-Kumasi Highway. The said illegal demolition which led to the destruction of eleven houses infuriated community members. They spontaneously

moved to block the Accra-Kumasi Highway to express their outrage. Eastern Regional Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Ebenezer Tetteh, said that the police have since taken control of the situation. The Police received information on the illegal demolition. Based on that, we proceeded quickly to the scene. Officers saw agitated

people blocking the main Accra-Kumasi Highway. We pleaded with them to rescind the decision because of its repercussions. Investigations so far point to the fact that one Kofi Acquah is behind the illegal demolition and as soon as he is arrested, he will also be taken through due processes of the law. DSP Ebenezer Tetteh called on the

residents to remain calm and trust the police to ensure justice. We want to appeal to agitated residents not to take the law into their hands. They should remain calm because we will make sure we will get to the bottom of this matter.
