OccupyGhana leaders targeted; robbed and vehicle tyres tampered with
Members of OccupyGhana have seen a sudden spate of
home raids and vehicular tyre tampering.

Speaking at Thursday’s Occupy Corruption Forum
held at the Christ the King Hall, Sidney Casely-
Hayford revealed that members of the movement have
experienced various levels of attacks, although he
is reluctant to point fingers.

According to Mr. Hayford, two weeks ago, two
members of occupy Ghana had their homes raided.
Phones, laptops, money and other personal property
were stolen.

Just last night, he says, Dr. Esi Ansah, an
Ashesi University Lecturer, who spoke at last
week’s forum, had her home raided as well.

Mr. Casely- Hayford narrated how last night he had
his left front tyre flying off his car. According
to him, he has never had any such issues with the
car. Bolts holding the tyre were missing.
Thankfully, he wasn’t doing more than 5miles per
hour when the tyre came off and he escaped
unharmed.

It doesn’t end there, he says. At about 10am
today a frantic call from Egbert Faibille Jr.
revealed that he also had discovered, after
investigating a noise from his car at a
vulcaniser’s, that all six (6) bolts on his tyre
had been loosened.

“Somebody obviously doesn’t like us,” he
said.

He questioned whether it was truly just a
coincidence that members of the occupyGhana team
are suddenly having their car tyres loosened and
having their homes raided and property stolen.

Mr. Casely- Hayford reaffirmed his determination
as a leading member of OccupyGhana to continue the
fight despite the occurrences.

“It doesn’t matter what happens to me. There
are many of you who will follow through… I am
following a just cause, doing what I think is
right.”

He encouraged Occupy Ghana members to stand firm
and unwavering no matter what is thrown their way.
“Don’t be afraid to be here and don’t be
afraid to be a part of us.”

“Occupy Ghana is here to stay!”
