Some six persons believed to be sympathisers of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Karaga constituency in the Northern Region have been severely ‘butchered’ after a misunderstanding ensued between supporters of the NPP and NDC.
The victims who are all receiving treatment at the Karaga hospital sustained various degrees of machete wounds.
According to some eyewitnesses, the opposition NDC held a rally at Sung which is believed to be an NPP strong hold. Usual of rallys, motoriders were on with their display.
The riders allegedly rode into one of the pavilions meant for NPP supporters. This reportedly did not go down well with occupants of the pavilion. A misunderstanding ensued after one of them questioned the motor riders why they will ride into the pavilion to disturb them.
