Police restore calm after youth attack Nsuaem Police Station
The Western Central Regional Police Command says it has restored calm at Nsuaem in the Western Region after an attack on the Nsuaem Police Station by an angry mob.
According to the Command, the incident happened on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, when about fifteen men brought a 25-year-old man, identified as Sulley Moses, to the station.
The men reportedly told police that they had seen him with two children, aged seven and five, near the Nivo Filling Station and suspected that he was attempting to lure them away.
The Command said the children later confirmed that the suspect had forcibly held the hand of one of them as they tried to leave. Based on that, officers detained him for questioning.
The police further explained that shortly after the arrest, a crowd of about 500 people, armed with stones and other weapons, besieged the station and demanded the suspect’s release.
The Command noted that the mob blocked the Takoradi–Tarkwa highway, burnt car tyres, and pelted officers with stones, damaging two police vehicles, parts of the station building, and several impounded motorbikes.
The Command added that a reinforcement team, supported by the military, was quickly deployed to disperse the crowd and restore order. It confirmed that three police officers and four civilians were injured in the process and received treatment at the Nsuaem Government Hospital. One of the injured civilians was later referred to the Effia Nkwanta Regional Hospital for further medical attention.
The police said the suspect, Sulley Moses, has since been transferred to the Tarkwa Regional Police Headquarters for further investigation.
It added that all officers stationed at Nsuaem have been relocated to a safe place and that the station has been temporarily closed for security reasons.
The Western Central Regional Police Command condemned the attack and assured the public that all those involved would be identified, arrested, and prosecuted.

The Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) has announced that it will begin a special revenue mobilisation exercise on Monday, November 10, 2025, to recover all monies owed to the Assembly for the 2025 fiscal year.
According to the AMA, the exercise aims to boost revenue generation and improve service delivery across the city.
it sais a Revenue Mobilisation Task Force will visit businesses, properties, and outdoor advertising locations to reconcile bills and collect outstanding payments.
The Assembly advised all ratepayers to make available valid receipts of payment for Business Operating Permits (BOPs), Property Rates, Outdoor Advertising Fees, and Rents.
The Assembly added that those who may not be present during the exercise are encouraged to leave their receipts with caretakers to avoid penalties, as no excuses will be accepted from defaulters or their agents.
The assembly noted that the task force will also remove all unauthorised billboards, and companies found to have erected such structures without permits will be surcharged with the cost of removal.
The AMA urged all businesses and property owners to cooperate with the exercise, noting that the funds collected will help the Assembly continue to provide essential services such as sanitation, infrastructure development, and public safety.

Former Greater Accra Regional Minister, Daniel Nii Kwartei Titus Glover, has urged President John Dramani Mahama to review his approach to governance, describing it as “not the best.”
He said the recent bail conditions imposed on some former government officials are unfair and appear to be punitive rather than just.
Mr. Glover made these comments during an interview on Metro TV.
He explained that bail is supposed to allow an accused person to appear before the court while the case is being tried, and not to serve as a form of punishment.
“If you want me to appear regularly before the police and the court, you can put a condition for me, but it should not be punitive. You can take my passport, ask me to report, or inspect my property. But where you make the bail so high that the person cannot even meet it, that becomes punishment,” he said.
He noted that some of the accused persons, including former government officials such as “my brother Assibey and my sister Gifty,” are still in custody because they have not been able to meet their bail requirements.
“What is the use of it? You keep them in incarceration, and they cannot have their day in court. Then you slap them with high bail conditions, making it difficult for them to secure their release. So what kind of justice are we talking about?,” he questioned.
Mr. Glover further criticized what he described as prejudicial comments made against accused persons before their cases are even heard in court, adding that it undermines justice.
He said the government, through agencies like the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), the police, and the Office of the Special Prosecutor, should ensure fairness and transparency in handling such cases.
He urged President Mahama to pay attention to these developments, warning that such practices affect the country’s image and governance.
