“I had already been warned by some of executives to stay off Atebubu but I said it was not proper to leave out the area which falls under my region”, he said.
“We went on a tour and today (Sunday 15 – day of the beating) was my 26th Constituency visit after Yeji and Pran. We got to Atebubu and were holding the meeting at the DCE’s residence. I know that Gyafa guy because he is noted for his involvement in series of atrocities and an ally of the Regional Minister. It is one Gyafa because I know him very well.” said Abronye DC.
