Police officer pulls gun on female tenant

Lance Corporal Frank Agyemang, a police officer with the Ashtown Police Station but residing in Accra has been reported of allegedly pulling a gun on his female tenant.

The incident which happened on Friday dawn, June 5, 2020, in Hong Kong saw the tenant identified as Abena Obenewaa Amrado's life being threatened over her failure to settle her outstanding rent charges.

According to a report filed by Abcnewsgh.com, Lance Corporal Frank Agyemang who is the son-in-law of the landlady, teamed together to refuse Abena Obenewaa Amrado Friday evening.

Explaining how the events unfolded to Abcnewsgh.com, Abena who has stayed in the house for a year, said she returned to the capital city from Koforidua around 11 pm and realised the locks to the house had been changed.

After several efforts to get the door opened for her proved futile, she reiterated that she started banging the door for her to be allowed entry, an act that infuriated the police officer.

“Suddenly the son-in-law of my landlady came out and was like today I was very furious that his mother-in-law has taken me to rent control so the way I spoke to the woman she didn’t like it so I should sleep outside. And I said no, I won’t sleep outside. I waited for close to 45 minutes, still, I was outside. I was pissed and annoyed and kept knocking that they should open the gate. Then the son-in-law just pulled the gun, pointed it to me. I got scared and screamed ‘seriously!’.

He answered back and said yes seriously if you don’t keep quiet, then he pulled the gun on me. So I just moved aside and called a friend who works at Police Headquarters and she said I should quickly call 18555 and they said I should report to the nearest police station,” the website reported.

Abena Obenewaa Amrado, who is a student doing her Masters program in Public Relations at the Ghana Institute of Journalism added that she has lodged a complaint at the Hong Kong Police Station before proceeding to spend the night at a nearby hotel.

Subsequent to her report, the police dispatched a team to carry out a search in the accused’s apartment but found no weapon on site.

The accused person, Lance Corporal Frank Agyemang has however denied ever pulling a gun on the Lance Corporal Frank Agyemang.
