Some residents of the New Nsuta, a suburb of Obuasi in the Ashanti region have expressed fear, calling on the police authorities and other security agencies to immediately intervene in a circumstance they describe as looming danger.
According to these residents, there is the likelihood of bloodshed should stakeholders fail to put proper measures in place. They are therefore calling on leaders and other security agencies to immediately ensure peace in the area before things get worse. They said there is the need for seizure of any such misfortunes.
Their call follow a threat, issued by an aggrieved man who said he was going to put the law into his own hands over a blockage of his shop.
Abdul Awudu Aziz who is not happy with the unfortunate actions taken by some group of persons said he was going to take up the the law into his own hands, thus after realising that no high authority was giving him attention over his complaints.
According to him, these persons have intentionally put up a structure (wooden hut) in front of his shop, blocking him from operating business. He said insults and all kinds of unhealthy words are the answers he receives whenever he complains about the situation.
Not wanting to disturb peace, Abdul Awudu Aziz said he went ahead to report the case to the district assembly, the assembly member and all other stakeholders, but, has still not seen any positive development.
"They've intentionally blocked me from operating business. They are northerners. I have reported the case to all the government officials in charge, but non of them has been given me any attention. It is affecting me badly because I went for a loan before being able to establish such business centre".
Abdul Awudu Aziz has therefore threatened to take the law into his own hands to demolish the structure so that his shop will be open to customers.
"I have decided to put the law into my own hands to cause their downfall first since I know they want to do same to me. Even if it is going to be a bloodshed, we are ready for that". He said.
Revealing the snippets part of the threat as a very dangerous one, according to what they observed recently, the residents said they don't want things to get escalated and that's why they are calling on the authorities to intervene very soon.
