But for the timely intervention of the Ghana Police Service, three soldiers serving in the Togolese army would have been beaten to death by villagers of a community in the Volta Region.
The soldiers had entered Ghana allegedly through unapproved route to ostensibly affect the arrest of a man they claimed is a dissident.
The Volta Regional Police Commander who confirmed the incident to TV3’s Midday Live on Wednesday said, residents, resisted the military men and rather subjected the three to severe beatings.
The residents of the village called Aboako denied that man whom they tried to arrest is a dissident because he is a known native of the community.
According to DCOP Francis Doku, the police in Jasikan were informed about the attempt by the residents to lynch some soldiers who have entered Ghana to arrest a suspect.
The police together with the District Chief Executive of Jasikan, he said, moved in to “rescue the soldiers”.
