But in actual fact, the police are not helping us in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhatever it is we tell them, from the police station, through district, to region, nothing has been done about it. At times, when attacks have been effected on the people in the community, they rush to the police, they\u2019ll just ask them to go, they\u2019ll not even receive their complaints and again, sometimes they will take the complaints but they will not do anything about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd if you are denying someone justice, you know what will happen at the end. Are we Ghanaians? Are we also bound by the 1992 constitution? Are the police doing their work? I don\u2019t think so,\u201d one of the leaders said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another resident, also very unhappy with the way things have been, accused the police of only being interested in taking money from residents riding motorbikes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe happenings in this community is alarming and the fact is that people are planting cassava and these land guards will go and remove the cassava and mount a danger in the farms that the people should not step in the farms again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHere we are in farm where almost two acres of coconut and orange plantations have been cut down totally. And these happenings, the youth in these communities are not ready to listen to whatever the police in this jurisdiction are saying because whenever there is a happening and we invite them to come, they say they will come but they never show up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAll we see is that when motorbikes are passing, they stop them and take monies from them and they don\u2019t even come when things are happening in town, when they are supposed to keep peace, they are rather keeping war between the two parties in town,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They have thereby given the IGP an ultimatum of 7 days, daring to take action against him as a way of protecting their own lives if he fails to meet it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf the IGP refuses to the 7-day ultimatum given him, we\u2019ll respond to him and defend our lives accordingly,\u201d the first leader said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Send your news stories to\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:dannyboy744@gmail.com\">dannyboy744@gmail.com<\/a>\u00a0and via WhatsApp on +233 266777777<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Tongu residents accuse police of extorting monies from them Land guards terrorize North Tongu residents Angry residents call on IGP to call his men to order Some residents of North Tongu have given the Inspector General of Police a 7-day ultimatum to call to order, land guards in the area because the activities of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":34744,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34742","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-top-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
