Police Command cautions Adwumakase Kese youth plotting to attack people of Bomfa to rescind

The Ashanti Regional Police Command has cautioned residents of Adwumakase Kese in the Afigya Kwabre South District planning to wage war on the youth of Bomfa to a cease-fire or face the wrath of the law.

The Police Command restored peace and serenity between residents of Bomfa and Adwumakase Kese following a boundary dispute which led to the death of an occupant after two persons were gunned by Police on Thursday, February 25, 2021.

The Police were attacked as an inspector was taken hostage by residents whiles settling quarrel between the two towns but was later rescued by the chief of Adwumakase Kese.

The two chiefs after a meeting with the Command last Friday agreed to iron their differences yet in a news release circulated by the Public Affairs Unit of the Regional Police Command signed by the Public Affairs Officer, Godwin Ahianyo “some youth in Adumakaase Kese are planning to wage war amidst threats of harm and death against the people of Bomfa.”

 The Police have warned that “threats of harm and death are criminal acts and that it is not going to continence any acts of lawlessness within these Communities” and “any person or group of persons who will be arrested will be severely dealt with according to the law.”

The Command has therefore extended a strong warning to engineers of the looming attack to “rethink and rescind their decision because any person arrested will not be spared since the Police will not sit unconcerned for any miscreant to create insecurity in the area.”

“The Command has also met with Chiefs of the two Communities who have assured the Police to engage their community members to bring about peace in the two Communities.”

They have also directed the media to be “circumspect in the way they report on the issue in order not to create more tension and anxiety among the people.”
