We’ve no hand in NPP HQ raid - Ghana Armed Forces
The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has distanced itself
from the recent raid at the headquarters of the
main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).

According to the largest opposition party, a group
of 15 armed men in military uniform entered its
Asylum Down headquarters during the wee hours of
Monday and ransacked some offices within.

“The uniform and the red t-shirted men
proceeded to break into various offices and
vandalized/ ransacked them. At the various
offices, particularly at the office of the
Director for elections, computer hard drives were
taken together with several files and other
documentation. Shortly after, a detachment from
the Nima police station arrived on the
compound,” the communications director of
the elephant family Nana Akomea told the media.

Twelve people have so far been arrested in
connection with the crime. Initial reports linked
the attacks to suspended national chairman Paul
Afoko. He has, however in a statement, condemned
the incident.

The spokesperson of the Armed Forces, Lt. Col
Aggrey Quarshie said none of his men was involved
in the invasion at the NPP head office.

“The Armed Forces has not officially
sanctioned anybody to do anything at the NPP
headquarters and we are waiting for the police to
come out with its findings then we can take it
from there,” Lt. Col. Quarshie told
Starrfmonline.com.
