SECURITY. COORD. FORCED OUT OF OFFICE
Calm
has been restored to the Ashanti Regional Coordinating Council offices hours after
a group of muscular men popularly known as machomen today, March 24 forcibly
evicted the new Regional Security Coordinator, George Adjei, from his office.
Mr. Adjei assumed duty last Tuesday as the new Ashanti Regional Security Coordinator.
A staff of the RCC who briefed Ashanti Today on grounds of anonymity,
said the incident happened on the blind side of the Regional Minister, Simon
Osei Mensah who had been on an official assignment in Accra.
The source said the
machomen, numbering about 60, arrived at the Regional Administration at about 10
am in three Sprinter buses with others on motor bikes chanting war songs thereby
disrupting official work in the offices.
It said upon entering the Regional
Administration premises, the men, who appeared to know the office of the
Regional Security Coordinator, went straight to evict him drawing the attention
of a Policeman who was on duty to rescue the Security capo.
Mr. Adjei was then
sent to the Regional Police Command for safety before a reinforcement was
commandeered from the Regional Police Command to restore calm.
It noted that it
was the Commander of the Police reinforcement team that calmed the nerves of the
intruders to leave the premises.
The source noted that the
machomen
questioned why somebody should be sent from Accra to coordinate security in the
region when there are enough capable hands already available to do that job.
