A recent arrest in Awutu Beraku has sparked debate and raised questions about political motivations. Cassius Otto Larbie and two others were taken into custody, prompting accusations of foul play.
Eugene Arhin and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) have been accused of orchestrating the arrest, allegedly due to Cassius’ vocal criticism of the District Assembly’s financial management and his activism. Some community leaders attempted to mediate the situation, but were told to refrain from involvement.
Sources claim Moses Acquah, the District Chief Executive, met with Eugene Arhin to discuss strategies to target Cassius. Additionally, there are reports of pressure from higher-ups to prosecute Cassius and his associates due to their perceived threat to the NPP in Awutu Senya West.
Cassius is known for his honesty and fearlessness, and his arrest has been described as a “slap on our democracy.” The incident has sparked outrage, with many calling for the NPP to be held accountable. The controversy has also raised questions about political interference in law enforcement and the integrity of the democratic process.
The incident has galvanized support for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Awutu Senya West, with many urging citizens to choose the NDC for development and accountability in the upcoming elections.
