Insecurity On The Rise As Dad Of 6-Month-Old Twins Is Shot Dead
Sep 21, 2020
The rate of crimes in our communities has caused mounting insecurity at Kpodoi-Dorfor in the North Tongu District of the Volta Region as father of six-month-old twins has been shot to death by assailants over a chieftaincy dispute. The 34-year-old deceased farmer, Azievu Obeneh, who was shot dead at the premises of the Ananzie Chief's palace at Kpodoi, left behind a set of twins and a seven-year-old girl as well as an unemployed wife who has been pleading for justice.
Mother of the twins and wife of the deceased, 27-year-old Xorla Toglo, said in an interview that, it is difficult to fend for her family and having nowhere else to go and no one to cater for her and the children.
She appealed to the government to urgently intervene and to as well let justice prevail in her late husband's matter. It was gathered that another farmer, Kofitor Ananzie, was also shot but luckily survived the gunshot.
Another 63-year-old farmer, Amatey Adjawutor suffered machete wounds on his way home from the farm by the same known assailants.
Amatey is said to have lost his sight and currently, half-deaf due to the gunshot and the machete inflicted wounds meted on him. Residents say they are living in fear as almost every two days, the gun-wielding assailants pounce in on them to threaten them.
Information gathered suggests that a chieftaincy dispute between factions of the Ananzie Stool has led to the rising insecurity in the Kpodoi-Dorfor community.
