Daniel Parker Odailai France to appear before court on March 16 over assault
The Accra Regional Police Command of the Ghana Police Service have arrested the Greater Accra Region Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Daniel Parker Odailai France for assaulting a party delegate.
Daniel Parker Odailai France is alleged to have ordered a gang of eight well-built men to assault one Daniel Amakye Kingsford, who wanted to observe the acclamation of Ablekuma West polling station executives at the Dansoman Liberty Park on Sunday, March 13, 3news.com reports.
Daniel Amakye Kingsford was physically abused by the General Secretary and the heavily built men and the polling grounds.
