In a shocking and alarming incident, unidentified armed men raided the residence of former Minister and Member of Parliament (MP) for Hohoe, John Peter Amewu, in the early hours of Wednesday. The intruders, who were heavily armed, reportedly fired warning shots and claimed they were acting on “orders from above.”
Eyewitnesses described the terrifying scene, stating that the gunmen arrived in multiple vehicles and forcefully gained entry into the premises. Neighbors reported hearing gunfire, which sent panic through the community as residents feared for their safety.
Sources close to Amewu’s household indicated that the assailants did not steal any valuables but appeared to be on a specific mission. Their claim of acting on instructions from higher authorities has raised serious concerns about the motive behind the attack and potential political implications.
Security agencies were swiftly alerted, and personnel were dispatched to the scene. While no casualties were reported, the incident has left many questions unanswered. The police have since launched an investigation to identify the attackers and determine the reason for the raid.
Speaking on the matter, a close associate of Amewu expressed outrage over the attack, calling it a blatant act of intimidation. “This is unacceptable. We demand immediate action from the security forces to bring those responsible to justice,” the associate stated.
Meanwhile, the former minister has yet to issue an official statement, but sources suggest he is safe and cooperating with authorities as investigations continue. The incident has sparked widespread reactions, with political analysts and citizens alike calling for a thorough probe to ensure accountability.
As the situation unfolds, Ghanaians are eagerly awaiting further updates from law enforcement and government officials regarding the motive behind the shocking invasion.
