According to police spokesperson, Detective Inspector Augustine Kyei, the officers acting upon a tipoff went after a dealer of dried leaves suspected to be marijuana.

In the process of trying to apprehend the suspect, he is reported to have put up resistance.

In a queer turn of event, the police claim the suspect and his accomplices were arrested but an angry mob from the town chased after the police officers with rocks.

In the process, the suspect named Kofi Ampomah was hit on the head by the rocked hurled at the police.

The profusely bleeding Ampomah was said to have been rushed to Konongo Odumasi Hospital for treatment but died shortly on arrival.
