Presiding Member Stoned to death

... Chief was an accomplice
Sunyani (Ghanaian Times) -- The Presiding Member of the Asunafo North Assembly in the Brong-Ahafo Region, Anthony Yeboah, was in the early hours of yesterday, Easter Monday, stoned to death by some youth of Atronie, near Sunyani.

Mr. Yeboah, who was also the Administrator of the Goaso Government Hospital, was together with his wife and a Catholic nun conveying the corpse of the nun’s mother, from Sunyani to the hospital’s mortuary in his car.
At Atronie, the youth who were said to have mounted a barrier in the middle of the road, stopped him and upon seeing the corpse, demanded an explanation.

As he tried to explain, some of the youth who apparently suspecting him of carrying the body for rituals, stoned him.

The Member of Parliament for Asunafo North, Mr Robert Sarfo Mensah, is blaming the police and opinion leaders in the Brong Ahafo town of Atronyie for the mob justice meted out to the presiding member

Speaking to JOYFM, the MP said:
"The incident followed a week of agitation amongst the youth, over alleged killings in the town. I even understand that when they stopped the late presiding member someone went and informed the chief who was then asleep that they had just spotted the vehicle that was suspected to be that of the serial murderer. I was just informed when I visited the family that the chief told them to do whatever they want to do with the person. If the chief whose residence is about six metres away from the crime scene had come out to advise the youth who had gone on rampage…I am told that after they had killed the late PM they were about to set the vehicle on fire and it was around that time that the chief came and told them to stop they stopped.”
