Police Arrest 2 Over Dzorwulu Disturbances

Police investigations have led to the arrest of two in connection with Monday’s disturbances at Dzorwulu in the Greater Accra Region.

The suspects have been identified as Owusu Banahene and James Quainoo.

According to a police statement, the suspects allegedly organised some thugs to demolish a building at Dzorwulu on Monday after attacking occupants of the building.

“Before the demolishing, the suspects and their accomplices attacked the occupants of the house. The Police responded to the scene to restore calm. The perpetrators upon seeing the police abandoned the excavator and escaped from the scene.

“Police later had information that one of the vehicles belonging to the suspects had run into a ditch and was attacked by a mob who pelted them with stones, injured one of the suspects, James Quainoo and set his car ablaze.

“Police proceeded to the place and the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) was called in to help quench the fire”, the Ghana Police Service recounted.

A viral video of the disturbance showed at least four young men retreating from a vehicle set ablaze with the driver of the vehicle lying motionless on the street.

The driver’s side door of the vehicle, according to the video, was opened while Quainoo lay belly wise a few feet from the opened door.

The one who took the video approached the victim after the attackers left the scene and confirmed he was still alive.

Quainoo is currently receiving medical attention at an undisclosed medical facility under arrest according to the police.

The police added, “efforts are underway to arrest all other perpetrators to face justice”.
