He said, a team of four task force officers including a lady and a driver, locked the shop because the deceased could not pay an amount of Ghc 25.00 as district levy.
He indicated that, after minutes of dragging an issue with the officers over payment of the revenue, the deceased begged to pay ghc20.00 but the officers demanded full payment, and that has led to disagreement between both the shop owner and the officials.
Kekeli News understands that, the deceased climbed the vehicle’s bonnet, a Toyota Hilux pickup and demanded his shop is open.
Sadly, the said driver who was identified as John, a senior driver at the Assembly and leader of the Revenue taskforce “half-clutched” the car and the young man fell off the vehicle after which he was knocked by the same vehicle.
However, some irate youths of the community have vandalized the Assembly premises, burnt a car, took away computers among other vital materials while staff of the Assembly including the District Chief Executive flee for safety to a near by town.
