The Upper East Region branch of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has expressed serious concerns regarding recent assaults on party executives.
These concerns have arisen in the wake of the tragic killing of the former Vice Chairman of the Party in the region, Williams Akanyele, allegedly by unidentified assailants.
The incident occurred on Wednesday, September 6.
Furthermore, the party has reported another attack on Martin Ariku, the Chairman of the Binduri constituency, which took place approximately two weeks prior to Mr. Akanyele’s tragic death.
In an interview with Citi News, the Regional Communications Officer, Jonathan Abdallah Salifu, called upon the police to expedite their investigations into these incidents.
“We are entreating the police to speed up investigations into some of these attacks, especially on our members because we don’t know whether they are politically inclined targets or it has anything to do with the ongoing conflict in Bawku.
“We cannot specifically tell what the reason is but we are equally asking the police to speed up investigations and then make sure that they get the public informed as to what they know about the cases because there is too much fear in the region.”
