Five persons are currently in admission at the Assin Praso Presbyterian Hospital following an attack by suspected fraudsters.
The Kyidomhene of the area, Nana Okofo Tabi ‘I’ speaking with Otixpres.com reporter, Obaapa Adwoa Benyiwaa Kwanimaa revealed that, the rampant fraudulent activities amongst the youth of the Adanse Praso in the Adanse South District of the Ashanti Region necessitated the formation of the Volunteering Group which will patrol the area to restore peace and tranquility.
In this vein, the angry fraud youth numbering about 20 who thought their activities has been hampered due to the activities of the volunteering group who patrols the area at night and thus began to attack them with weapons.
One of the volunteers has been butchered and is currently in admission.
Chiefs and elders have been chased into the bush whilst market women were raped.
They can’t go about their activities as fear gripped them. He narrated.
Nana Okofo Tabi further stated that the saddest aspect is that 3 acres of rice farms and 5-acre cocoa farms which belong to one of the volunteers have been weeded out by these criminals.
Meanwhile, some of the residents including the volunteers recounted their ordeal.
Lastly, the Adontenehene Nana Otuo Acheampong stressed that he inherited the throne for 43 years and that what happened yesterday was outrageous. He said the only thing that can solve the problem is to have a police station in the town since the nearest police station to them is New Edubiase which is about 30km away.
