Over 30 youth in Asikuma Odoben Brakwa have been arrested by police for manhandling police officers on duty at Breman Agoase in the Central region of Ghana.
The Asikuma District Police Commander Chief Superintendent Emmanuel Odokoh Baah explained that the youth were arrested after some two suspects were reported to the Breman Brakwa Police police of defiling a 16-year-old girl of which two police officers went to effect an arrest but were beaten by youth in the community.
The two suspects are Kofi Shaibu aged 22 and Emmanuel Donkor aged 19.
