District Police Commander at the South Tongue in Volta Region, DSP Thomas Owuahene Acheampong has taken sides in the on-going Sogakope chieftaincy dispute.
The youth of the area have alleged the Sogakope police led by the District Commander, Mr Owuahene Acheampong is backing the Laweh family who are claiming they are the successors to the Soga stool.
DSP Owuahene Acheampong who was noted initially for working as a genuine Police Commander has suddenly changed and going after anyone who opposes this Laweh family including the Soga family.
On Friday May 22, 3021, the real Soga family circulated a statement to all radio stations and community information centres to informed the general public they have not installed anybody as the successor to their stool since the demise of Togbe Avudzega Soga I.
The Soga family issued the statement with the suspicion that some unscrupulous persons are parading themselves out there as the Dufia of Sogakope.
Suddenly the Police invaded Divine Information Centre to arrest Bali Wisdom Agbogah who carried out with the announcement, but for the intervention of some youth, the police could not whisked him away.
The Sogakope police allegedly suggested to Bali Wisdom Agbogah who voluntarily reported himself at the police station that he should produce for them the Soga family members and those who brought the statement the information centre aired otherwise he would be dealt with for airing what they (police) described as false announcement.
The Lawehs, in anticipation of becoming Dufia of Sogakope they suddenly metamorphous to “SOGA” with “H” in their name and fighting the real Soga family for their stool.
Checks by Nationaltymes.com indicated the case is before the National House of Chiefs in Kumasi since early 2019 and the police in Sogakope is aware.
Sela radio, Dabala and Dela Adidome aired the same announcement continuous for two straight days yet the Commander chose to ignore them and go after Bali Wisdom Agbogah.
The people of Sogakope could not fathom to understand why the police commander who is supposed to remain neutral appears to see the statement so injurious.
The police was expected to remain neutral to enable them scrutinize the statement aired before they accept to take any action.
