The Obuasi Circuit Court has remanded nine suspects into Prisons custody following a violent incident involving the assault of police officers at Tweapease Senior High School Park in the Ashanti Region.
The suspects—Joshua Frimpong also known as Joey B; Bannor Williams; Isaac Dwumfour also known as Sporty; Evans Bannor also known as Pressure King; Asiedu Ronald also known as Case Close; Sarfo Alex also known as Okele; Yaw Alex; Obidiaba Desmond; and Agyemang Emmanuel—were arraigned before the court on 8 January 2026.
They were charged with assault on public officers after a viral video circulated on social media showing police officers show being attacked while on duty at the location.
According to police sources, the incident occurred when the suspects, together with others currently at large, allegedly attacked officers who were deployed to maintain law and order at the park.
The court ordered that the suspects be remanded into Prisons custody while investigations into the incident continue.
The Police Service has strongly condemned the attack and cautioned that any person who assaults police officers in the line of duty will be pursued, arrested, and made to face the full rigours of the law. Authorities have also assured the public of their commitment to protecting officers and maintaining peace and security across the country.
