The police are investigating an assault on a group of Catholic missionaries of the Jasikan Diocese in the Oti Region.

They were allegedly manhandled by some supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Nkwanta South Municipality over some machines for the District Road Improvement Project.

The victims, whose names were given as Reverend Fathers Henry, Martin, and Rubenson, were assaulted after they were suspected to be moving the DRIP machines from its original location.

Reports indicate that the missionaries were undertaking infrastructure projects in the region, including Nkwanta South and North before falling into the hands of the thugs.
