“Per my checks, police in the area had arrested a friend of those you saw in the video for dealing in some illicit drugs, the two community police officers were reported to have taken Gh¢1000 from the gang under the guise of given it the  commander for the swift  release of their friend”.

“The group after waiting for some time without any affirmative results went to the police station and discovered that, the two community Police officers did not give the money to their superiors for the release of their friend as promised and so got agitated”.

“They went to the  various  homes of the officers and attacked them, the one you see them striking with pestle is known in the area as Owuraku, 26, who lives in my Electoral Area, and the other one is called Exhibit, 33”.

The two according to the assembly member have been hospitalized following the attack
