Zongo youth clash with Police in Kumasi over armed 'robbers'
They reportedly followed on an earlier threat to reduce the Asawasi police station to ashes. Reports indicate that a swift intervention from some auto mechanics in the area saved the police station from going up in flames.
The youth squared it off with the law enforcement officers at Asawase, a suburb of Kumasi.
They accused the police of shooting 7 innocent guys whom the police described as armed robbers. The police alleged the deceased persons were suspected armed robbers who opened fire on them, an allegation the community members have been quick to dispute.
