The Accra Metropolitan Assembly has begun investigations into an incident in which a trader\u2019s ear was almost severed during a scuffle with city guards.<\/p>\n
Ebenezer Obeng was arrested by the guards for selling shoes on pavements, a claim he has denied.<\/p>\n
He is accusing the city guards of burning his shoes and stamping his face with their boots until his ear virtually came off.<\/p>\n
Public Relations Officer for the AMA Nuumo Blafo III said although the guards have denied the allegations, the assembly will go ahead with its investigations.<\/p>\n
He explained the victim was being led to the AMA\u2019s office at Holy Garden near the Kwame Nkrumah Circle but he turned violent upon reaching the gates.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey were almost in the yard and then, I think, he started struggling with our personnel so in the process of struggling, his head hit the gate so it is rather the gate that caused the injury,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Nuumo Blafo III said the guards will, however, be sanctioned if they are found culpable.<\/p>\n
