25 Rounded Up For Rioting At Wa Police Station, Environs
The police have reported the arrest of twenty-five (25) persons in Wa in the Upper West Region.
They were arrested after they besieged the Wa Police Station to forcefully demand the release of some three persons who had been arrested in connection with the flogging of the two “lovebirds” whose sex tape went viral in Wa.
“The twenty-five (25) were part of a mob who besieged the Wa Police Station on Wednesday, June 1, 2022, to demand the release of Sidiki Osman, Bushiran Khigir and Issahaku Mahama who were arrested earlier in the day and were in Police custody”, a part of the statement from the police said.
According to police, the irate mob pelted the charge office and adjoining offices with stones and other implements.
“The youth also set vehicle tires ablaze on some major streets in the municipality. In addition, they emptied the contents of dust bins on these roads and caused damage to some street lights along these roads. The rioting mob also blocked the major streets obstructing the free movement of vehicles.”
The police deem the action of the youth as calculated to derail the course of justice for the victims who were flogged in Wa.
“All the suspects and others who will be arrested in the course of investigations will be put before the court to face justice”, the police assured.
A sex tape of two lovers in Wa reportedly went viral sparking rage among the residents.
In another video, the two were tied to a pole and flogged several times by some of the residents.
