Some youth supporters of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ho Central constituency of the Volta Region broke into the party’s office on Tuesday evening to vent their anger over the failure of President John Mahama to appoint anyone from the constituency into his government.
The aggrieved youth, some of whom were masked, destroyed items they found in the office after gaining access.
In a video shared on social media, dozens of angry youth were seen removing office equipment, including computers, furniture, and important documents, and throwing them into a fire that had been set in front of the constituency office using car tyres.
It took the intervention of officers from the Ghana National Fire Service, who rushed to the scene and extinguished the fire.
Deputy Constituency Secretary Theophilus Adzanko, in an interview with TV3, mentioned the items that had been destroyed.
“Two of our computers have been damaged, all our office chairs and tables have been destroyed, and they have been burnt to ashes. The two doors to the office have been broken down. We are disappointed by what has happened. Even membership cards for people who have already received them, and we are yet to distribute, were also damaged.”
Meanwhile, the police, who visited the crime scene, have indicated their readiness to begin investigations immediately, in collaboration with party executives, who are expected to help identify the individuals behind the attack.
