Heavily built men numbering about fifteen with the Tema Development Corporation (TDC) Taskforce have allegedly assaulted a Postmistress of the Tema Community seven post office.
They attacked Mrs. Linda Ode Agyeman in the early hours of Wednesday morning when the taskforce stormed the premises of the Tema Community seven post office and started erecting short walls around the building without management’s notice.
Narrating her ordeal to Plan B FM reporters, Mrs. Ode Agyemang said she was attacked by these heavily built men who threatened to beat her up and also have her phone taken when she tried to take photos and videos of the their activity.
“I reported to work early this morning only to find out two short walls have been erected all around our premises. Somewhere earlier this month, we saw this structure here, so we had to write to the City authorities and the stakeholders involved. Anytime it rains the whole place gets flooded, the office loses letters, parcels and other valuables and important documents for both the company and customers.” She said
“So we had to write to them so that something could be done to save the situation only to come this morning to see this wall being constructed. So I called the Assembly man to inform him what I have seen and also ask him whether the presence of the taskforce are part of the measures to curtail the problem”.
“Surprisingly, he denied knowledge of that, so I had to take down pictures and my CEO also arrived and said this is not what is supposed to happen. I’m also a representative of Ghana Post here, so whatever goes on here I have to report to my superiors,” she explained
“So in the process of doing that, one gentleman approached me and said why am I taking videos? And I said I am within my premises this is where I work and this thing concerns this office so I have every right to take the videos and the pictures. He asked me to delete it and I said no; I am not going to delete it and I realized they were coming to me and I quickly went in. There is a burglar prove here so I tried locking it and they all forced themselves about ten to fifteen men”.
“Quickly, I knew they were after my phone so I had to hide the phone inside my safe and locked it. Suddenly, they all rushed on me and pinned me to one corner in my office. I became helpless. 15 men and you know the taskforce, macho men, well built. One person held my hand; you can see the scratches on my hand trying to take the keys away from me.
“My keys got broken; my swivel chair is also broken but thanks be to God, I don’t know where I got that strength from and I was able to hold on to the key so they were not able to take away the key. So later I don’t know what happened, they all had to withdraw that was when the CEO had to come in and calm me down” So I have been assaulted by well-built men. Not one, not two but fifteen of them” she narrated.
