MP complains about police harassment

Saduase (Greater Accra), 27th April ?99 ?

Ms Beatrice Naa Afieye Ashong, Member of Parliament for Kpone/Katamanso, has appealed to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to stop the Eastern regional police from harassing the people of Saduase, in the Greater Accra region in their boundary dispute with the people of Adamorobe in the Eastern region.

This follows a complaint that police from the Eastern region last Saturday, supported the people of Adamorobe, to harass Saduase citizens over the demarcation of the boundary.

Seven policemen riding in a police Landrover with registration number, GP 720 are said to have backed 12 people from Adamarobe armed with cutlasses, to demarcate the boundary between the two regions.

The demarcation team destroyed cassava, plantain and vegetable farms belonging to Saduase farmers.

Ms Ashong reminded the police of their duty to offer protection to all citizens of the country and asked them not to be biased in their operation since it impacts negatively on their image.

She said the security councils of the two regions are looking into the boundary issue and called on all sides to exercise restraint for a just solution to be found.

Meanwhile, the Dodowa police are patrolling the town to maintain peace and order.
