The Divisional Commander for the Ghana Police Service, Tarkwa, Chief Supt. George Andrew Kumi has been accused for fueling the unending feud in Dompim, the capital of the Dompim-Pepesa Traditional area. The Chief for the area, Ohyeawura Bian Nyonwa Panyin IV says the escalated chieftaincy dispute could only be resolved if the Divisional Police Command stops meddling in the traditional affairs.
Recently, a bloody fight ensued between factions of the family to the Dompim Pepesa stool, leaving two persons severely wounded and one hospitalised.
Speaking on this issue on the Jolly Breakfast Show on Skyy Power FM today, Ohyeawura Bian Nyonwa Panyin IV lamented that the operations of Chief. Supt. Kumi has been biased towards him [the right occupant to the stool], ever since the other faction challenged his authorit
He said the presence of the police personnel in his township often results in bloody exchanges and conflict between the two factions, since the other side feel emboldened by them.
“The other faction is motivated to indulge in violence because they have the police on their side. The place is always calm when there are no police in the community because they [other faction] are aware the community doesn’t support them. So the Chief Supt. Kumi must be careful, as they say, no situation is permanent,” the chief pointed out.
According to Oshyeawora Bian Nyowa IV, it is his wish that the Police Commander is dealt with. He alleged that the situation in the traditional area is far different from what he suspects is reported to the Western Regional Command of the Ghana Police Service. He is therefore calling for an independent assessment of the Dompin area, “so these miscreants could be dealt with.”
they[faction] know they Commander is by their side so they will misbehave and when I cause their arrest they are granted bail and the case dies. This is the sorry state of our security agency,” Ohyeawura Bian Nyonwa IV cried.
