Tension reached a boiling point in Ejura in the Ashanti Region as an enraged group of youth launched a dramatic assault on the local police station.
The incident, fuelled by growing frustration and unrest, saw the crowd storming the facility in a display of anger and defiance, leaving chaos and destruction in their wake.
The agitated group freed suspects on remand and set the facility ablaze.
The situation took place after the police informed the youth that their colleague who had been recently arrested had died in custody.
The assemblyman for Ahenbobouanor, Samuel Kudjoe Kwa-Sam, confirmed the incident.
He revealed that the suspect, accused of stealing a phone, had voluntarily reported to the police and assured officers he would return the following morning to assist with the ongoing investigation.
But he was detained, after which he passed on, the assemblyman said.
The incident saw the crowd overpower law enforcement officers, vandalising property before igniting the station.
