Not satisfied with the beatings that nearly sent the outspoken Abrᴐnyɛ DC into coma, the angry party supporters vandalised his vehicle.
Some good Samaritans who came to his rescue rushed him to hospital where he is currently on admission receiving treatment.
An eyewitness, who helped in rushing him to hospital, revealed that he suffered serious injuries including a fractured arm and had been referred to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital under police escort.
“The doctor said his arm was broken and his shoulder had dislocated so he was referred to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi. Another person who was accompanying him, also got his share of the beatings.
Abrcnyé DC
Kwame Baffoe, in a brief comment, revealed that his assailants beat him with a piece of metal.
According to Abrᴐnyɛ DC, he had received word that going to Atebubu - where the beating occurred - might not be a good idea for him, since some people were planning to attack him because of his calls for the Brong Ahafo Regional Minister's dismissal but he chose not to heed the warning.
“We went on a tour and today was my 26th constituency visit after Yeji and Prang. We got to Atebubu and were holding the meeting at the DCE’s residence. I know that Gyafa guy. It is one Gyafa because I know him very well," said Abrᴐnyɛ DC.
Disgruntled members
Earlier reports had it that the controversial NPP national executive was attacked by disgruntled members of the NPP at Atebubu, and later sent to the hospital with a broken arm and a dislocated shoulder.
Further commenting on the incident, Abrᴐnyɛ DC went on to say that his assailants beat him with a piece of metal.
"They used that metal they dry clothes on to beat me. That Gyafa said if I am demanding the dismissal of the minister they will kill me. They hit my hand with the metal.”
I was lying down and they were flogging me with the metal. I had already been warned by some executives to stay off Atebubu but I said it was not proper to leave out the area which falls under my region,” he said.
