Regional Youth Organiser of the New patriotic Party (NPP) on Saturday at

The Atebubu-Amantin District
Police Command is however doing its best to conduct investigation into the
matter to arrest the culprits as it is a criminal case and the Police have the
right to investigate any criminal affair.
Deputy Commissioner of Police
(DCOP) Kwame Tachie-Poku, the Regional Police Commander who told the Ghana News
Agency (GNA) in an interview about the incidence in Sunyani said Mr Baffoe,
popularly known as ‘Abronye DC’, was attacked by some alleged NPP members at
the official residence of the Atebubu-Amantin District Chief Executive (DCE),
Mr. Edward Owusu.
He said Mr Baffoe had met Constituency
Party Executives to ask for their support in the upcoming regional level election of the Party.
According to reports, he was
attacked with metal bars, resulting to a fracture on his left arm and was thus
rushed to the St. Luke’s Clinic at Kasei on the Atebubu-Ejura road but was
referred to the St. John of God Catholic Hospital at Duayaw-Nkwanta in the Tano
North District for further treatment.
DCOP Tachie-Poku said the Police
has not yet taken the statement of Mr Baffoe
because he denied him and two other Police officers audience when they
went to the Hospital on Sunday to take
his statement to assist Police investigations into the matter.
In the Police’s effort to take
his statement, a Detective Sergeant from the regional Criminal Investigations
Department also went to the Hospital on Monday morning but was informed that
Baffoe had been discharged, he added.
