A BUSINESSMAN, Mr Joseph Owusu, who claims to have been attacked and assaulted by five men in the full glare of security officers is accusing the police of not doing anything to apprehend his assailants.
Mr Owusu sustained wounds on his wrist in the incident which occurred at Tema Community 11 on July 25, this year.
His alleged attackers were said to have pursued him from the Leisure spot where he had gone to buy rice balls, popularly referred to as ‘Omotuo’, closed in on him and allegedly slashed the back tyre of his vehicle after a hot chase.
The assailants then succeeded in taking away his wristwatch and an undisclosed amount of money in his possession at the time of the incident.
According to him, although his assailants are still driving around town in a Toyota Camry saloon car with registration number GN 2047 Z used in pursuing him, the police were yet to make any arrest though he was chased to the premises of the Community 11 police station where he tried to seek refuge while officers on duty looked on.
He wondered why the police were still reluctant in getting data on the said vehicle used by his assailants from the offices of the Driver, Vehicle and Licensing Authority (DVLA) to enable them to apprehend the suspects.
Mr Owusu, who is currently on holiday in the country from Europe, said the incident that occurred at about 3p.m. on the said day seemed to confound him as to whether some people were after his life.
The police investigator in the case, Mr Debrah, on the other hand said although a full investigation into the incident had been launched, he could not give details of progress made so far because he was on leave.
