The MP for the Okere Constituency in the Eastern Region had three armed robbers break into his home in Tema at 12.30am on Thursday morning, he said they held him and his wife hostage for nearly 45 minutes, taking laptops, mobile phones and an undisclosed amount of money.
Speaking with Joy FM, Bowte said he heard some noise, opened his eyes and saw “about three people” holding pistols to he and his wife.
“They started ransacking the whole place and took my wife’s jewellery and some other things. It was a near-death experience and I was praying and consoling my wife as one of the armed men held a gun to us in our bedroom,”

He said he had improved security at his residence after the MP for Abuakwa North, JB Danquah-Adu, was allegedly murdered in his home two months ago. The trial of the suspected killer, Daniel Asiedu is ongoing.
“I changed all my locks and added additional security and we are still in the process of improving security in my house here and in the constituency,” he said.
His daughter who was in another room managed to call the police.
On Thursday the Accra Regional Police Command arrested two security officers over the robbery.
One of the two is a personal security guard at Botwe’s Tema residence, whereas the other is a security guard in the neighbourhood.
