Diasporans Allegedly Attacked By MP For Jomoro Cries For Justice
In a recent incident that happened at Evans Hotel, near Trasacco Valley, East Legon, member of parliament for Jomoro Constituency, Western Region is alleged to have been in a ferocious brawl with a diasporan family who came to Ghana for the Christmas holidays.
The victim, Olivia, an American giving her account on the incident, explains that Hon. Dorcas Affo-Toffey parked in a wrong spot at the hotel leaving little to no space for other patrons to park their cars. This attracted the security guard at post to confront the MP but he was met with a series of insults and an order to back off.
Olivia further explains that they needed a space to park their car, so her boyfriend, who was in the car with her, and her father decided to talk to Hon. Dorcas so she could do the needful. But he was equally met with more scorn and barbs. She (the MP) then ordered her bodyguard and a group of men and women she was with to beat them up, and in the process, they got their cars mangled at different spots and their glasses cracked as well.
Olivia then added that she got hurt physically, and her whole family is traumatized by the happenings. She lastly said she did not know the said woman was even a lawmaker until after the incident. She asked, If lawmakers are this lawless, who will fight for ordinary citizens?
Olivia shared that she has since reported the case to the police and hopes due diligence will be done and the peppertrators will be brought to justice according to the law. She said the security camera of the hotel captured the whole event, which corroborates her story.
The Minister of Jomoro Constituency, Western Region, Hon. Dorcas Affo-Toffey, has yet to speak on the matter.
Watch the account of Olivia on the case and snippets of the incident from the CCTV of the Evans Hotel.
