IGP James Oppong-Boanuh <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Inspector General of Police, Mr.
\nJames Oppong-Boanuh, has issued a stern warning to the public, especially Zongo
\nyouth, to desist from always attacking police officers physically whenever
\nthere is a misunderstanding.<\/p>\n

He issued the warning at Yeji in
\nthe Pru East District in the Bono East Region where some Muslim youths went on the
\nrampage over a dead body last week.<\/p>\n

Last Wednesday, some angry Muslim
\nyouths at Yeji attacked a private hospital, St. Mathias, and demanded the
\nrelease of the body of a man called Yusif, who was allegedly killed by armed
\nrobbers.<\/p>\n

Yusif, who was in his provisions
\nshop, was reportedly shot to death by an unidentified robber who robbed the
\nplace and escaped. His body was subsequently deposited at the private hospital
\nby the police to enable them to conduct investigation.<\/p>\n

However, the irate youth claimed the police refused to hand the body to them for Islamic burial, for which reason they started causing trouble in the town. They claimed that the police demanded GH\u00a23,000 from the family of the deceased before they would release the body for burial.<\/p>\n
