The police accused Mr. Tetteh of being the ”Gang leader” who instigated the youth to embark on the militant ‘Uprising” against the Electricity Company of Ghana in Somanya last Friday.
According to reports, Mr Jonas Tetteh (Dendenden) has been whisked away to Koforidua, the Eastern Regional Capital by the state security.
In solidarity of his arrest, the youth have poured onto the streets of Somanya to protest against his arrest and demand for his immediate release.
Thousands of youth have massed up at the Somanya police station, the streets, and ECG Office in a militancy mood in
Dendenden’s solidarity as they burnt tyres, woods and anything in sight.

Somanya residents along the main road and or have shops fled for their lives.
Where I am standing to file this report is not even safe either. The sound of gunshots all over is sending shivers down my spines.
