Suddenly, I saw a number of men with guns closing up on me and the police officers, then the scuffle began,” the landowner Alhaji Hajj narrated the incident to the media.
He further explained: “ While the police officers tried to ask who they were, one of them pulled his ID card and said there were operatives of the national security and their boss had asked them to bring me to Blue Gate (national security office) but the police officers resisted. The young men tried to drag me into their car but the officers fought them off and they left”.
He said was admitted at the hospital for treatment after he sustained injuries as a result of the scuffle
The Dodowa divisional police command has confirmed the incident.
