Respond to allegations of complicity in NPP head office raid- Akomea to Military
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has asked the
Military High Command to respond to allegations of
complicity linking some of its men to the violent
attack at the party’s headquarters in Accra
on Monday

Reports indicate that some six, persons dressed in
military uniform, were led by others in plain
clothes to carry out the act.
Addressing the media on Monday, the Director of
Communications for the party, Nana Akomea said the
command must respond to the allegations to bring
clarity to the matter. “Obviously this is a
set up very clearly from the Odorkor Police
extract, this is clearly an extract. This other
group from Odorkor when they came, they were
disappointed. They were told to come and have a
little booze and they came and they were given
party T-shirts, they were happy and they were
given machetes and some of them said we cannot be
part of this so when they left, they lodged a
complaint at the Odorkor Police station that this
is what has happened so there is an official
report made by these people about they being
organised and lured to the party office to engage
in this activity. We will be extremely glad if the
Military command itself will come out to clarify
the issue,” Nana Akomea said.
In a related development, the Police have arrested
11 suspects in connection with the incident.

The identities of 11 arrested are unknown for
now.

Meanwhile police officers are on high alert at the
premises of the party as investigations are
underway.

The party’s acting National Chairman
Freddie Blay, has told journalists, the police
suspects some influential persons may have
masterminded the incident.

He said the party will conduct its own
investigations while the police also carries out
its probe.
