The Police in Techiman have granted an enquiry bail to the Presiding Member of the Techiman Municipal Assembly, Mr Nicholas Asamoah Abanaba for allegedly assaulting Mr Mumuni Saaka Adam, Techiman Youth Organizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Blewushie Godwin Cashman, Techiman Municipal Crime Officer, told GNA that Abanaba allegedly confronted Mumuni at the premises of the Municipal Assembly, saying he had a personal score to settle with him.
ASP Cashman said Mumuni in his statement to the Police said the Presiding Member accused him (Mumuni) of reporting to ASTA FM, a local radio station, that the Presiding Member had stolen the carcass of a goat.
Mumuni said that even though he denied doing anything of the sort, Abanaba held him and slapped him a number of times and tore his shirt. He said when he was rescued by passers-by; he went and lodged a complaint with the Police.
The Police issued Mumuni with a medical form to attend hospital.
It was alleged that in December 2007 a vehicle knocked down a goat at Krobo, near Techiman, and some members of the New Patriotic Party cooked and ate it and were later made to pay GH¢30 for it.
