They searched people as though we were in a military era. 41 abudus were arrested and transported to bimbila and interrogated through excruciating pain , out of which 7 were taken to Accra and remain in custody up to date . the rest were left in bimbila without any arrange of transport to go back even though they were pick from a different town.
