The Bono East Regional Police Command says it has restored calm in Kwame Danso, in the Sene West District, after a violent attack on both the District Court and the District Police Headquarters on Wednesday, December 10.<\/p>\n

According to police officials, the disturbances began in the late morning and involved a large group of young people storming the court while proceedings were underway.<\/p>\n

Police reports indicate that at about 10:30 a.m., an estimated 100 youths besieged the court premises, disrupting an active session.<\/p>\n

The group vandalised furniture and equipment and forcibly took away two accused persons who were standing trial.<\/p>\n

They also reportedly assaulted the complainant in the case. \u201cThe youth damaged items on sight and posed a threat to everyone present,\u201d a police source said.<\/p>\n

The violence later spread to the Kwame Danso Police Headquarters, where two officers on duty were attacked as the mob vandalised parts of the station.<\/p>\n

Reinforcement teams from the Atebubu Division, supported by a detachment of the Formed Police Units (FPUs), were quickly deployed to restore order.<\/p>\n

Their arrival helped stabilise the situation and disperse the crowd.<\/p>\n

Following instructions from the Inspector-General of Police, the Kwame Danso Police Station and the District Police Headquarters have been temporarily shut down.<\/p>\n

Officers previously stationed there have been reassigned to other parts of the region.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis measure is to ensure the safety of personnel while investigations continue,\u201d the Command noted.<\/p>\n

The Bono East Regional Police Command has assured the public that all individuals involved in the attacks will be tracked down and prosecuted.<\/p>\n

\u201cPerpetrators will be identified, arrested, and made to face the full consequences of the law,\u201d ASP\/Mr Appiah Danquah, Acting Public Relations Officer for the region, stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe remain committed to maintaining peace and protecting the community.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
