Seven people, including Mr Haren Patel the Managing Director of Pee Cola Limited, were arrested last Thursday following an assault upon residents of Agbogloshie, near the Accra Brewery.
Yes it is a real brand!
The police arrested an unlikely gang whose ages ranged between 20 and 55 years but were found to be in possession of two pistols, live ammunition and knives.They claimed to have been employed by Mr Patel to protect an area of land whose ownership was disputed.
The gang interpreted this protection as the need to scare people by any means possible and where that did not work by attacking and harrassing anyone on or near the disputed area. They found and and attacked twenty seven year old Andrews Cobbina, a car parts dealer at Abossey Okai, who was returning from work. Mr Cobbina, has been admitted to the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra, with cutlass wounds following the assaults on him by Patel’s thugs.
Cork Monkey has heard of people who conduct 'business' like this. None of them honest, of course Cork Monkey does not know the facts of this case or the lengths one has to go to protect property but it is a fun story.
