Gomoa Budubrum police call for reinforcement as angry mob storm police station

The police command at Gomoa Budubrum has called for reinforcement after an  angry mob besieged the Police station following the death of a Nigerian man, Precious.

Precious is alleged to have been shot by a police officer.

The Nigerian community in Buduburam stormed the police station seeking answers to the death of their fellow, Adom News reported.

Recounting the incident, nursing mother and wife of the deceased said, her husband told her ‘someone had threatened to kill him’

According to her, they  took refuge in a friend’s house, but her husband could sense the assailant was on his tail

‘He shouted for help, the neighbours came out in their numbers and my late husband retraced his footstep to look out for the assailant. It took a long time and Precious was not returning, so some of the people around followed up.

“Then someone called to tell me that Precious has been admitted to the hospital after he sustained a knife wound. When I insisted that I wanted to go and see him, they said no and locked me in the room.

“I later realised the police have shot and killed my husband. He has opened a shop for me here and people around know him very well…he is hardworking and does not steal, so I don’t know why he was killed,” the mother of the five-week-old baby told the reporter.

The angry mob besieged the police station, demanding answers. Some of them threw stones into the Police Station after they were sacked from there.

The police called for reinforcement to restore calm at the station and in the area.
