The Ghana Police Service has announced the arrest of seven suspects, including constituency executives of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), in connection with an attack on an Ayawaso West Wuogon (AWW) Constituency office of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Although the police have been silent on the exact crime committed by the suspects, the NPP has alleged that NDC thugs led by the party’s Women’s Organizer for AWW, Abdulai Victoria Naematu Nadolie, and Youth Organizer for the constituency, Theophilus Kodzo Bedzra, attacked its campaign office in Dzorwulu while they were holding a meeting.
A statement issued by the Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency Secretary of the NPP, Alhaji Issah Sawadogo, stated that the incident, which began around 4:30 PM on Sunday, 7 July 2024, resulted in the NPP constituency organizer, Agyenim Boateng, who was supervising the meeting, sustaining severe injuries.
A viral video seen by GhanaWeb shows the commotion that occurred during the attack.
In the video, a woman can be heard narrating that they were informed that an illegal voter transfer exercise was taking place in the office of the Member of Parliament for Ayawaso West Wuogon, Lydia Seyram Alhassan.
She claimed that one of the persons they interrogated confirmed that a voter transfer exercise was ongoing, even though the timeline for the exercise announced by the Electoral Commission of Ghana had elapsed.
As she was describing what was happening, an altercation broke out. Some women could be seen in the video manhandling a man they encountered at the office.
One of the women involved in the brawl with the man at the NPP office, according to the narrator, was the NDC’s Women’s Organizer for AWW, Abdulai Victoria Naematu Nadolie.
