\n\t\t\t\t\tThree suspects have been arrested in connection with the assault on some Luv FM journalists during a report on the illegal mining issue at Asumenya near Manso Nkran.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\tThe three staff members, including Erastus Asare Donkor, were attacked by armed men claiming to work for Edelmetallum Resources Limited in the Ashanti Region.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\tOver ten heavily armed men forcibly abducted the team, took them to an undisclosed location, subjected them to brutal beatings, and later abandoned them.\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe journalists had been filming the destruction caused by illegal mining when the attack occurred.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSpeaking to Joy FM\u2019s Newsnite, News Editor at Luv FM, Kofi Adu Domfeh, confirmed that the police have arrested three individuals in connection with the incident.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cBefore they took us to the site, the police made us aware that three people had been arrested and two of them were actually identified as part of those who assaulted our crew.\u201d\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tA series of disturbing developments occurred when the Bekwai police accompanied the journalists back to the area for identification.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAccording to Mr Domfeh, upon arriving at the site, no one was present.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tHowever, the Police Commander leading the team informed the media crew that their security vehicles could not proceed beyond that site.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThe police also cautioned the journalists against filming or taking pictures of the devastated land in the area.\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
