The two were part of a gang that stormed Ash town in Kumasi to take over the management of public toilets in the area. The development occurred a few hours after Nana Addo was declared winner in the December 7 elections.
The two reportedly sacked the caretakers of about 10 toilet facilities and took the sales that were made for the day but the swift intervention of Manhyia Divisional Police Command led to their arrest.
The incident follows a similar one that occurred at the Tema Motorway toll booth where some alleged NPP supporters were accused of illegally taking over the Tema Motorway toll booth.
An Eyewitness who confirmed the development to Citi News said the youth have sacked the officially designated toll collectors and are now illegally taking the tolls themselves. “Just about ten minutes ago, before I got to the toll booth I saw more confusion than usual and I could see some people signalling for the cars to pass without paying the toll.”
“I stopped and asked the Police officer whether the guys are trying to take over the toll booth and he just smiled and said yes. There are police cars there and they just seem to be watching,”he said. – By: citifmonline.com/Ghana
