Attacco razzista: “Me ne vado da West Belfast”

Man plans to move out after ‘hate attack’

Adu Kyeremateng, West Belfast

A man whose Belfast home was targeted in a paint attack has told UTV he’s now making plans to move out of the area.

Adu Kyeremateng, who’s 65 and originally from Ghana, has lived in Northern Ireland for eight years.

Overnight on Saturday, paint was thrown over the front window and door of his house in the Upper Townsend Terrace area of west Belfast.

Police said it’s being treated as a hate crime.

Mr Kyeremateng told UTV he doesn’t know why he was attacked but said he is now preparing to leave the area, because he no longer feels safe.

He said: “I feel really bad – I feel shocked, I feel threatened and I want to get out.

“I can’t go on like that. I haven’t done anything to anybody and I don’t have conflict with anybody. I have a right to live in peace without being threatened by anybody so I’m going to see houses I could live in tomorrow. I just don’t want to risk it.”

Police said the criminal damage was carried out sometime between 10pm and 8am.

Detectives have appealed for anyone with further information, or who may have witnessed what happened, to get in contact with the PSNI.
