Barekese youth Demand Development, chase Chief with stones

There was confusion at Barekese in the Ashanti Region Sunday morning when the youth of the town reportedly thronged the Chief’s place with stones.

The irate youth had besieged the palace over what they say is the Chiefs inability to spearhead the development of the town.

Nana Amoapem Brenya II who was accused by the youths of not doing enough to push for the community’s development, needed a heavy police shield to leave his besieged palace.

The chief also had his white pickup vandalized.

The police also could not escape the pelting of stones as tension escalated.
