According to him, the guy who died was at the back of the bike so he fell on the ground and smashed his head on the bare street. Sad is that the Police further carried them to the hospital and handcuffed them to the bed and told the nurses that they were criminals.
Selorm Ameza, who, according to him witnessed today’s sad event said, the guy who died, known as Setor went into comma and was later transferred to Ridge hospital where he died of his wounds in less than 24 hours.
“Now the crazy part of the issue is that, the Police quickly took the Riot Van that ran down the boys to the repair shop yesterday and it was quickly repaired as if nothing happened. This is Police tampering with evidence and somebody has to do something this time.” He narrated.

“See how the Akatsi Police is trying hard to cover up their running down and killing of another 20 year old boy in Akatsi just yesterday. Just last month we hurried #Etornam whom a certain Police officer brutalized and he later died 3 days after.”
Explaining the only crime of the decead, Selorm Ameza said, “Now the offense of the boys is something hilarious as well. The Police is said to claim that a group of boys on motorbike snatched a bag from a certain Person in a car some days back so the Police have been looking for the suspects. And so on seeing this 3 guys on a bike, the Police felt they could be the suspects and tried stopping them. But then the boys feeling it was because they were 3 on the bike sped off and the Police chased them with the van and ran them over by smashing them into the road barricades.”

“Now this morning the Youths of Akatsi went on a rampage to show their dissatisfaction on the frequent attacks by the Police and they were met with live bullets and 2 guys got shot down.” He added.
“So it’s a full blown mayhem between the Akatsi Police and the Youths of the town. Trust for the Police is completely gone and I wonder if it can be restored.”
“See how they tempered with the evidence within 24 hours? I don’t feel safe in Akatsi at all. #AkatsiPoliceKillingYouths” He alarmed.
