Suame MP escapes gang attack

About 10 unidentified men attempted to attack the Minority Leader Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu on Tuesday, but his security detail was swift to thwart the plan.

According to the MP for Suame, two men approached the police man manning his house on Tuesday midnight, informing him of a purported incident a few metres away from Mr Mensah-Bonsu’s residence.

Speaking on Anopa Kasapa, the MP said the police officer was suspicious of the men.

“He therefore took his gun to fend off any threat,” Mr Mensah-Bonsu said, adding the two men kept insisting that the police man join them to the purported scene.

The Minority Leader stated moments later the police man saw some men approaching on motorbikes and immediately called for support.

“When they heard that the policeman was calling for reinforcement, the two men took to their heels and joined those on the motorbikes and escaped,” he recalled.

According to him, he was indoors when the incident happened.

The Suame MP said: “God has an eye on me” and was grateful to the police for beefing up security at his residence after making a formal complaint.

He said the unknown men could have been on a mission to attack him or raid his house.
