A business man in Techiman kwadwo Adjei who was brutalized by some zongo youth and had his car burnt is seeking justice against his attackers.

The Brong-Ahafo Regional Police command has begun investigations into circumstances that led to the burning of a Mitsubishi Pajero car in Techiman.

The police in Techiman has earlier impounded and parked the car with registration number TG 0184 AC at the premises of the District Police command.

Seven suspects have been arrested in connection with the crime and they are on police enquiry bail.

They are Mohammed Awuni Alhassan, Awudu Alima, Carmel Shuari, Mohammed Munkarim, Ali Adams, Alhaji Awani, and Alhassan Sherrif Zakaria, all residents at the Techiman Zongo.

According to police investigations the suspects who lived at Techiman Zongo attacked and subjected the owner of the car, Mr Kwadwo Adjei, a businessman and two others to severe beatings.

The other victims are Sueba Sulemana, a trader and her 15-year-old son Musihu Awal

The Brong-Ahafo Regional Crime Officer Superintendent Alhaji Maama Arhin who confirmed the story said the suspects allegedly stole three mobile phones, an Ipad, and undisclosed sum of money from Mr Adjei.

Superintendent Arhin explained that Mr Adjei was accompanying the two victims to their house at the Techiman Zongo when Alima, one of the suspects approached them, and that while Adjei was talking with her a mob attacked them.

He added that but for the timely intervention of a police patrol team in the vicinity, the main victim’s Pajero vehicle would have been extensively vandalized by the gang.

Superintendent Arhin said the police impounded the vehicle and parked it at the premises of the police station, but the suspects allegedly went to the station at night and set it ablaze.

Mr Kwadwo Adjei has appealed to the police to be swift in their attempt to pursue the case.
