Three individuals, identified as Solomon Anaba (18), Akongoli Adoko (18), and Lamamia Ishmael (21), have been remanded by the Kwadaso Circuit Court.

Their arrest stems from allegations of attacking firefighters at the Racecourse Market in the Kumasi Metropolis of the Ashanti region.

The trio, all laborers, faced charges of conspiracy to commit assault on a public officer and assault on a public officer.

However, they did not enter pleas during their court appearance.

Following a request from the prosecutor, ASP Jonas Newlove Adjei, the court opted to remand the accused individuals to facilitate further investigations.

ASP Adjei cited concerns that granting bail to the accused, who are reportedly squatters, might impede ongoing investigations.

Presided over by His Honour Stephen Kumi, the court scheduled the accused persons to reappear on March 26, 2024.

The arrests occurred on March 11, 2024, after the accused allegedly hurled stones and other objects at firefighters from the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital fire station, who were combating a blaze at the Racecourse Market.

During the incident, one firefighter sustained an injury to his nose.

The Suame Divisional Police Command apprehended the three individuals during the altercation.
