A man in his 40’s has reportedly been beaten to death at Konkori by cops in the Atwima Kwanwoma District.

The death according to the deceased’s mother occurred at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital on Wednesday, April 8, 2020.

Narrating the ordeal on Kwame Tanko’s Angel in the morning Show, the deceased known as Kwabena Tweneboah Kodua works as a security man for a mineral water company at Konkori. According to the woman whose name was not disclosed, her son was observing the lockdown directive by the President of Ghana amidst the coronavirus when he heard noise of commotion outside his room, closer to the roadside.

The deceased, Kwabena Tweneboah took a glance from the front gate of their home and was grabbed by the police for failing to observe the lock down measures but he denied the allegations levied against him.

He got into physical confrontation with the Police and was pounded by the angry security personnel. He went unconscious for some time and later woke up yet the plea by his mother and other relatives to let go of him for treatment from the bruises did not persuade the officers from handing over her son who was put in cuffs.
