Narrating his ordeal in an interview on Akoma FM, John Okyere said that he was working on a project at Kodie, a community in the district, when the assembly guards attacked him.

“… whiles I was working at the site, some people came in a branded pick-up truck with the Assembly’s brand embossed on the left and right sides of the truck. They asked me to stop working so I decided to gather my tools and they restrained me from taking my own tools then they pounced on me and started beating me left right centre,” he said.

He further stated that the guards kept beating him till lost consciousness and left him for dead, adding that he might have died after the attack if not for some members of the community who rushed him to the hospital.
