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 Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has clarified that former Finance Minister Kenneth Nana Yaw Ofori-Atta remains the subject of criminal proceedings in Ghana and is still wanted under a valid arrest warrant issued by the High Court in Accra.
In a public notice, the OSP said it had taken note of a transcript of a hearing from a United States immigration court that has been circulated by some media organisations.
According to the office, the document has been interpreted by some to suggest that Mr. Ofori-Atta has not been credibly charged or linked to any wrongdoing in Ghana.
The OSP rejected that interpretation, explaining that it is not involved in Mr. Ofori-Atta’s immigration proceedings in the United States.
It said its involvement relates only to extradition proceedings, which are being handled through Ghana’s Attorney-General as the country’s central authority.
According to the OSP, the extradition documents are not before the US immigration court and the court has no authority to determine whether the criminal charges against Mr. Ofori-Atta are credible.
“The credibility or otherwise of the criminal charges against Mr. Ofori-Atta is a matter for determination by the courts in Ghana,” the OSP stated.
The office explained that there are three separate legal proceedings involving the former minister.
These include the immigration proceedings in the United States concerning his immigration status, extradition proceedings to determine whether he should be returned to Ghana, and the criminal case before the High Court in Accra involving corruption and corruption-related offences.
The OSP reiterated that Mr. Ofori-Atta remains before the High Court in Accra as an accused person and that a valid warrant has been issued for his arrest.
It maintained that he remains a fugitive from justice in Ghana and is required to appear before the High Court to answer the charges against him.
The Special Prosecutor also stressed that the criminal proceedings in Ghana would continue in accordance with the law and the directives of the High Court, whether or not Mr. Ofori-Atta is physically present in the country.
