According to Abronye DC, he had received word that going to Atebubu – where the beating happened – may not be a good idea for him since some people were planning to attack him because of his calls for the Brong Ahafo Regional Minister’s dismissal but chose not to heed the warning.
“I had already been warned by some of executives to stay off Atebubu but I said it was not proper to leave out the area which falls under my region”, he said.
“We went on a tour and today (Sunday 15 – day of the beating) was my 26th Constituency visit after Yeji and Pran. We got to Atebubu and were holding the meeting at the DCE’s residence. I know that Gyafa guy because he is noted for his involvement in series of atrocities and an ally of the Regional Minister. It is one Gyafa because I know him very well.” said Abronye DC.
