The Police have told Citi News they are investigating the recent raid at the headquarters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). Though the Police claimed that information they have gathered so far are sketchy, they have given the assurance they make their findings public after the investigations.
Some men dressed in military uniforms and other attires reportedly ransacked the NPP headquarters on Monday dawn. They were said to have searched the offices after locking up the security guards on duty. Meanwhile, 11 persons have so far been arrested in connection with the act. Speaking on Eyewitness News, the Director of Public Affairs of the Ghana Police Service, Superintendent Cephas Arthur was tight lipped on whether some weapons were found at the place when the Police got to the scene. “Official accounts now is still sketchy. Police received a distress call that a group of persons have raided the NPP headquarters and so the Police aptly responded to the call to ensure that calm was restored. Eventually when everything had come down, other aspect of policing was set into motion, that is, personnel from the crimes department were dispatched to the place to conduct investigations on the scene of crime to pick pieces of evidence.”
“As I speak, that is what we are still doing; we are still investigating the incident. The Police are proceeding with our investigation, and at the appropriate time, if there is any signal of weapons, we will put it in the public domain,” he added. In a related development, former Chairman of the NPP, Paul Afoko has condemned the raid at the NPP head office. “Mr. Afoko condemns in no uncertain terms these incidents and describes same as dents on the party’s image. Reports of weapons having been found at the party headquarters is even more worrying. These developments are distasteful especially at a time Mr. Afoko is challenging the constitutional breaches some party members have persistently engaged in,” a statement signed by Nana Yaw Osei, Spokesperson for Mr. Afoko added.
