Vice Chancellor Rev Fr. Prof Afful Broni and other council members with a machete during an emergency meeting held on Thursday 22nd February, 2018. <\/p>\n<p>The meeting which was held to discuss the council&#8217;s \u201cFact Finding Committee Report\u201d saw Dr. Bekoe throwing some tantrums. <\/p>\n<p>It is unclear what might have triggered Dr. Bekoe to behave in a manner uncharacteristic of a council member.<\/p>\n<p>He could be heard screaming from the council\u2019s chamber where the meeting was taking place as he issued threats. <\/p>\n<p>A complaint was later lodged at the Winneba Police station by the Effutu Paramount Chief, Nenyi Ghartey VII, the Council Chairman, Acting Vice Chancellor and other council members.<\/p>\n<p>Some Police personnel were later dispatched to his residence to invite him for questioning, which he declined. <\/p>\n<p>The council member and senior lecturer simply refused to allow the police into his house. Dr. Bekoe is seeking re-election to serve on the council in Monday&#8217;s elections. <\/p>\n<p>Some people have questioned the unruly behavior exhibited on Council and what he will be bringing on board again to the Council. <\/p>\n<p>Others are also questioning why he would want to go on the same Council whose members he is threatening to kill.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 76 updated by: 24 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Friday, 23 February 2018 Source: Prosper Agbenyega 2018-02-23 Member of the University of Education, Winneba governing council, Dr. Samuel Ofori Bekoe A member of the University of Education, Winneba governing council and former UTAG President Dr. Samuel Ofori Bekoe has threatened to kill the Omanhene of Effutu Traditional Area and council member [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":467045,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-467044","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-local-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/467044","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=467044"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/467044\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=467044"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=467044"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=467044"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
