Motor riders at Gomoa Budumbura in the Central Region are accusing the Assemblyman of the area of being behind the consistent attacks on them by some land guards.
According to them, one motor rider hit the child of the Assemblyman in a bid to separate a fight between that child and another one.
“Two kids were fighting and one guy of them said he will separate them. So he spanked one of them for insulting him. And the kid said he’s going to call his father. Later land guards came over to fight them because of the issue. They were about nine…” one of the victims said.
They claim that since that incident, the Assemblyman whose name was only given as Charles instructed the land guards to harass and assault all motor riders in the area and that is what has been happening.
“By 3 pm, they also retaliated by going to the ghettos where they reside and they clashed. After the whole incident, the assembly man led the land guards back to the motor riders. The land guards use to take money from them…” one of the witnesses narrated.
The motor riders explain that they reported the matter to the Assemblyman and that was when they got to know that he is the mastermind behind the harassment they face from land guards.
“The last time they came it was the assembly man who led them to the cause and it confirmed to us he was the mastermind behind the whole plot…” they said.
Meanwhile, when Adom News reached out to him, he declined to make any comment.
