THE EASTERN Regional Youth Organiser of the National Democratic Congress(NDC), Mr Kwaku Asamoah, sustained multiple wounds when he was severely beaten by armed robbers in Koforidua in the early hours of last Friday.
Asamoah who was first sent to the Regional Hospital, Koforidua, was later taken away to the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital for further treatment.
The armed robbers, numbering six with masks on their faces, attacked Asamoah and his brother, one Daniel Boateng, who was sleeping in one of the rooms in the compound house.
The robbers after molesting the two brothers took their mobile phones and fled.
According to an eyewitness, the robbers attempted to attack other occupants in the house but took to their heel when they realised that policemen were getting near the house.
When contacted, the New Juaben Municipal Police Commander, Superintendent John Naami, confirmed the attack and said investigations were ongoing to track down the robbers.
Superintendent Naami who was holding a meeting with the Deputy Eastern Regional Police Commander, ACP David Ampah-Benni, on the issue, was hopeful that the robbers would be apprehended to face the full rigours of the law.
