Nima Police Commander investigated for endorsing NDC

The Greater Accra Regional Police Command has launched an investigation into ASP Asong Ayrakwa, the Nima District Police Commander, following allegations that he endorsed the National Democratic Congress (NDC) during an event in the Ayawaso East constituency.

A viral video circulating on social media shows ASP Ayrakwa reportedly chanting, “We will win,” a phrase some believe aligns with the NDC’s campaign slogan, prompting questions about his neutrality in the lead-up to the elections.

The Greater Accra Regional Police Command held a meeting with representatives of both the NDC and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) from the Ayawaso East and North constituencies to address the matter. During this meeting, representatives from both parties advised caution and urged the police leadership to ensure a thorough and unbiased investigation into the claims against ASP Ayrakwa.

“This district commander has been working so hard to make sure that there is peace in Nima for somebody somewhere to doctor a video saying that the district commander is saying that NDC will win. In fact, God will punish the person,” stated Mohammed Ramne, the Constituency Chairman of the NDC in Ayawaso East.

Similarly, a representative of the NPP offered a perspective on the phrase in question: “The comment ‘we will win’ doesn’t mean NDC will win or NPP is going to win. Peace will win; we should use our wisdom.”

Despite the pleas for restraint from both parties, Greater Accra Regional Police Commander DCOP Arhin Kwasi Annor affirmed the command’s commitment to carrying out an independent investigation.

“You are saying that he was talking about peace and that peace should win. That is your side. We are also going to conduct our own investigations,” he remarked.
