Ex-President Rawlings Mad Dogs Chew Tefle Residents Date: 17-Oct-2013 Residents of Vume and Tefle, who live close to the private residence of former President Jerry John Rawlings in the South Tongu District of the Volta Region, are living in fear and panic as wild dogs of the former President terrorise them. The tall dogs numbering over six have been on a biting spree terrifying residents. One person has already been arrested and spent three days in police detention for allegedly inflecting cutlass wounds on one of the dogs. The dogs stand about three feet tall and have a mixture of black and brown fur. They always stray to the river bank at Vume where the former President lives. Residents, who have fallen victim to the wild Alsatian dogs, say the experience is horrifying. The situation, which has lasted for over a year and half now, had left many residents both young and old with big bruises and scars while others still have difficulty in walking, Daily Guide investigations have established. Residents told Daily Guide that the dogs usually chase their victims whenever residents go close to the bank of the Volta River to swim, relax, wash or fetch water. The dogs chase and bite them when they come in contact with them or slip from the house. They abandon their basins, buckets and other belongings as they run for their lives when the dogs give them a hot chase. Some end up breaking their legs. Accounts A victim, Korku Tse told Daily Guide that he was once surrounded by four of the wild dogs and that it took the timely intervention of a Good Samaritan, else, “I believe I would have been dead by now…the dogs are dangerous and need not be allowed to get close to human habitants. Victims and residents have, therefore, called on the former President to either chain his dogs or relocate them to the Zoo to safeguard the lives of the people he once ruled. Source: Daily Guide
