Briefing the Daily Graphic at Oda last Friday, the Oda Municipal Police Commander, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Mr Samuel Ntosoh, said on April 2, 2016, Mr Harrison Adenyoh, a machine operator of ARDA Group, went to work at the company’s site at Oda.

He said later in the day, Mr Adenyoh complained to the officials that his machine had got stuck in the mud at the site.
DSP Ntosoh said the management of the company managed to remove the machine and invited Mr Adenyoh to a meeting to explain why the machine got stuck in the mud.
He stated that while Mr Adenyoh was giving his explanation, there was a misunderstanding and the two Turkish officials of the company pounced on him; they beat him mercilessly until he collapsed.
DSP Ntosoh said the Turks, who sensed danger that Mr Adenyoh might die, rushed him to the Oda Government Hospital where he was revived by a team of medical personnel.
