The injured Policeman on his hospital bed
A
Police Inspector at Donkokrom in the Afram Plains North
District of the Eastern Region is currently battling for his life after he was
attacked by a Fulani herdsman.
The
suspect, Amadu Salifu, who is currently at large, allegedly inflicted machete
wounds on Inspector Daniel Afedo who was enforcing an arrest warrant.
Having
inflicted the machete wounds on him, the suspect bolted with the policeman’s
official AK47 service Rifle No. AL 2190.
The
incident occurred at Atiwulame, a farming village near Donkokrom, on Saturday
at about 9 am.
The
Inspector with two other Community Police Assistants went to the suspect’s
house to arrest him over a complaint filed against him for allowing his cows to
destroy a farm belonging to a neighbour.
The
Regional Police Spokesman, DSP Ebenezer Tetteh, who confirmed the incident to DAILY GUIDE, said the Assemblyman for
Kayara Electoral Area, Timothy Wadi, filed a complaint against the suspect
before the Donkokrom District Magistrate Court on 3rd October concerning the
activities of his cattle.
After
refusing to attend court, a bench warrant was issued by the court for his
arrest.
According
to the Police PRO, the officer over the weekend went to the suspect’s house to
enforce the bench warrant and the suspect upon seeing the team members offered
them a seat.
He
then went to his room and came out with a machete and inflicted several wounds
on the police officer.
The
suspect was said to have taken the AK47 rifle and even attempted to shoot the police
officer, but the rifle was locked. He then escaped with the rifle when
onlookers tried to disarm and arrest him.
The
following morning, the suspect is said to have visited the Pentecost Church in
the area and left the rifle there.
