A worker with the Ghana
Grid Company (GRIDCo) at Sefwi-Asawinso in the Western North Region, Maclean
Amoah was mistook for a thief and was given a shot after he was chased by the
Police at Nyinahin in the Atwima Mponua District of the Ashanti region.
According to reports captured in a video
recording obtained by MyNewsGh.com, Maclean Amoah is seen narrating his ordeal
from the Emergency Unit of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi.
He recounted how the police
officers gave him a hot chase with a BMW salon car and eventually shot him in
the left thigh when they caught up with him at Nyinahin.
The incident happened on Thursday, March
21, 2019 around 10 Pm, when the police, suspecting the victim, who was driving
alone in his salon car with registration number, GN 1124-12, to be an armed
robber for failing to stop at a barrier, trailed him with the said BMW car and
Chief Inspector Gyekye shot him at Nyinahin, where the victim had parked.
The victim said he saw in his
driving mirrors that he was been chased, but refused to stop because he feared
for his life, due to how notorious the Bibiani-Kumasi Road is for armed robbery
activities; so “I decided to drive to safety beforestopping”, he added.
He said residents of the town
threatened to kill him when he was abandoned by the police after shooting.
The victim is scheduled for a
plastic surgery at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital under strict surveillance
at his bed, as the police maintain he is an armed robber.
MyNewsGh.com has gathered
that the wife of the victim is a police officer at Dorma in the Ahafo region.
The family of the victim is
demanding justice and calling on the Minister of the Interior and the Inspector
General of Police to intervene in the matter and bring the officers to book.
According to them the
identity of Maclean Amoah has never been in doubt since it can be easily
verified at the GRIDCo and not an armed robber as the police wants the public
to believe.
The vehicle in which the
victim was traveling in and his mobile phone are in the custody of the Nyinahin
Police to aid in investigations.
