DSP Benjamin Samani, Millennium City Commander<\/strong><\/p>\n

A
\nsuspected arson nearly resulted in the death of a 14-year-old boy at Millennium
\nCity, near Kasoa in the Central Region.<\/p>\n

The
\nincident, which is reported to have occurred around 12 midnight on Saturday, 28th<\/sup>
\nSeptember 2019, is believed to have been orchestrated by one \u2018Big Man\u2019 at
\nNyanyano, also near Kasoa.<\/p>\n

Explaining
\nthe incident to DAILY GUIDE<\/em><\/strong>, Austin Gaiakpa, elder brother of the victim, said
\nthat he was there in the early hours of 29th<\/sup> September 2019 when he
\nreceived a distress call from her sister, Nora Gaiakpa, informing him that
\nsomeone had set her food joint ablaze in the night.<\/p>\n

He
\nsaid he followed up and found out that the report was true. He subsequently
\nmade a formal complaint to the police and also contacted the National Disaster
\nManagement Organization (NADMO) for support.<\/p>\n

Nora
\nGaiakpa, owner of the burnt food joint, confirmed the incident. She said on
\nthat fateful Saturday, she attended church service with some members of her
\nfamily at Awoshie, leaving the 14-year-old Lafornaku Abraham in the care of his
\nelder brother, Nathan Beyiwo.<\/p>\n

According
\nto her, she was called in the early hours of Sunday that her food joint had
\nbeen burnt down, which she confirmed when she rushed there.<\/p>\n

She
\nadded that she suspected \u2018Big Man\u2019 for being responsible for the arson.<\/p>\n

According
\nto her, she has been selling there for over 12 years and used to pay GH\u00a2150 to
\nthe suspect until the place developed. <\/p>\n

She
\nsaid \u2018Big Man\u2019 threatened to ensure that she left the place and actually gave
\nthe place out to someone, who is erecting a structure at where her joint used
\nto be barely three days after the incident.<\/p>\n

Narrating
\nhis ordeal to this paper, Lafornaku Abraham said he was fast asleep in the
\nstructure when the intensity of heat woke him up, and when he realized that the
\nplace was on fire, he ran away and was lucky to escape unhurt. He saved his
\nbrother, Nathan, who had minor heat burns around his neck and face.<\/p>\n

The
\nCommander, DSP Benjamin Samani, acted swiftly the moment he received the case in
\nthe presence of this reporter, calling all personnel involved in the case and
\nordering the arrest of \u2018Big Man\u2019.<\/p>\n

He
\ngave an assurance that the command would do everything legally available to
\nthem to get to the bottom of the matter.<\/p>\n
