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.
