A week has passed since a civilian named Opoku Afriyie was allegedly attacked with machetes in Kenyasi Settlement Camp Prison. His family is demanding a prompt investigation and justice, expressing concern over the lack of arrests. Opoku, who works as a sound system operator and commercial motorcycle rider, is currently receiving treatment for severe injuries at Asutifi North District Hospital.
The attack allegedly happened due to an incident involving yam theft. Opoku's family is questioning the handling of the case, pointing out a perceived discrepancy in how they believe the situation should have been addressed. They argue that if the roles were reversed, and Opoku had attacked prison officers and inmates, he would have already been arrested and prosecuted.
His family is deeply disappointed and may organize demonstrations if they are not satisfied with the outcome of the investigation. The Ghana Police Service is currently conducting an investigation, but no arrests have been made yet.
