There was drama at Atasemanso zongo in Ashanti Region when Deputy Finance Minister and MP for Nhyiaeso, Dr Stephen Amoah allegedly pulled a gun at some young men.
According to eyewitnesses, the incident happened when some youth accosted the Deputy Minister on November 26 to demand that he honoured his promise.
“MP and his opponent were invited by the Unity and Love Family for a launch, the MP promised to give the group GHS5,000 after the event, but he refused to honour his pledge. So he was accosted by the youth. In the course of verbal exchange, one of the guys pulled a toy gun and pointed it at the MP, who also went into his car and pulled a pistol thus creating a pandemonium” an eyewitness told 3news.com.
Another eyewitness said, “the MP was advising the youth against drugs, some took offence and started raising issues of an unfulfilled Astro turf project. In the course of that, one of the boys pulled an object which looked like a gun. The MP became apprehensive, and he also went into his car and pulled his live gun.”
Meanwhile, Dr Stephen Amoah has confirmed the incident to 3news. According to him, “even Jesus Christ will react if you pull a gun at him.”
The brandishing of toy guns is said to have become a trend in the Garden City.
The Police considers this as a criminal offence, hence 26 persons have been arrested so far.
