Flagstaff House assault: Court issues warrant for arrest of 2
The Accra Circuit Court has issued a warrant for
the arrest of two persons, including an ex-police
officer who assaulted a senior police officer at
the Flagstaff House in January.

The ex-officer, Mumuni Jabel and one Abu, who are
said to be members of pro-NPP vigilante group,
Invincible Forces, were caught on tape assaulting
ASP Bruce Nanka at the Flagstaff House in a video
that went viral on social media.

The footage which was taken by CCTV cameras at the
seat of government on January 9, 2017 –
President Akufo-Addo’s first day in office –
showed members of the vigilante group chasing ASP
Bruce as he drove out of the Flagstaff House.

The gentlemen succeeded in accosting ASP Nanka and
attempted to seize his vehicle, but the
intervention of other security personnel saved the
situation.

Interior Minister, Ambrose Dery has, however,
assured Parliament that the assailants will be
brought to book.

Joy News’ Parliamentary correspondent, Joseph
Opoku Gakpo said the Minister disclosed this in
Parliament today when he was asked about progress
on the issue.

Mr Dery in his response said, “the matter is
currently under investigation by the police CID
and efforts are being made to arrest the suspects.
An Accra Circuit Court has issued a warrant for
the arrest of Mumuni Jabel – the ex police
officer – and his counterpart.’

In a response to how the two suspects had access
to the Flagstaff House, the Minister said he does
not have personal knowledge on that.

But he said the act they committed is of serious
concern and one that would be investigated and the
appropriate punishment meted out to the culprits.
