‘Announce arrest of NPP bandits at Okaikoi North like you did on Collins Dauda’ — Sammy Gyamfi to Police

The Ghana Police Service has arrested about 20 alleged members of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Okaikoi North constituency for breaching the peace during the ongoing voter registration exercise.

According to Communications Officer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Sammy Gyamfi, the alleged NPP thugs were arrested at a registration centre in the area by the Police anti-robbery unit.

In a Facebook post on Thursday, May 16, Mr. Gyamfi said "Some of the items retrieved from these bandits included live ammunitions, cutlasses and other weapons."

He added that "The thugs were arrested while they were publicly smoking marijuana behind the district court near the voters’ registration centre."

The NDC spokesperson further alleged that the same group had on Wednesday "attacked the office of the sitting MP, Hon. Theresa Awuni and inflicted serious injuries on some innocent voter registrants."

He said his sources from the Police regional command have indicated that "some senior NPP officials are at the Police Station trying to secure bail for these hoodlums."

Mr. Gyamfi questioned why the Police are yet to make a statement on the arrest like they did in the case of NDC MP for Asutifi South Collins Dauda.

"Is somebody planning to coverup this serious issue?" he quizzed.

Earlier this morning, about twenty (20) armed bandits belonging to the ruling NPP were arrested at the registration centre in the Okaikoi North Constituency by the anti-robbery unit of the Ghana Police Service.

Some of the items retrieved from these bandits included live ammunitions, cutlasses and other weapons.

The thugs were arrested while they were publicly smoking marijuana behind the district court near the voters’ registration centre.

Yesterday, these same NPP bandits attacked the office of the sitting MP, Hon. Theresa Awuni and inflicted serious injuries on some innocent voter registrants.

Sources from the Police regional command have hinted us that some senior NPP officials are at the Police Station trying to secure bail for these hoodlums.

Some of the men arrested are on the police wanted list for offences ranging from robbery to murder.

Why has the Police Service not issued a statement on this incident like they did in the case of Hon. Collins Dauda?

Is somebody planning to coverup this serious issue?

Well, we are watching keenly to see how this issue will be handled.
