Background
On Wednesday, Kwasi Bonzo, the District Chief Executive (DCE) of Ellembelle, was detained by police in the Western Region.
After two mining excavators vanished in the area, Mr Bonzo, his personal assistant, and another individual were under police investigation for their possible involvement.
According to sources, Wednesday's arrest happened after the DCE learned that the police had found an excavator that matched the description of the one that had been reported missing.
Early in the morning, he entered the area to purportedly identify the earthmoving machinery.
According to reports, when the DCE arrived to attempt to confirm the machines' ownership, he was ignored.
