Gbewa youth group, associated with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Northern Region, has taken a drastic step by locking up the regional office of the party.
This act is in protest against the detention of the Northern Regional Vice Chairman, Alhaji Gbewa, who was held by the Northern Regional Police Command.
Alhaji Gbewa was invited by the police to assist in investigations following a report of assault filed by the party’s Regional Treasurer, Shamima Yakubu.
The alleged altercation between the Vice Chairman and the Treasurer, involving disagreements about party finances, led to injuries sustained by Ms. Yakubu.
The communication officer of the youth group, Mahama Haruna, emphasised their resistance to any party sanctions against Alhaji Gbewa.
He urged the National Party Executives to inquire into the recurring disagreements within the party’s northern regional branch, often associated with Shamima Yakubu.
The youth group issued a warning that if Alhaji Gbewa is not released promptly, they will proceed to lock up all NDC offices in the metropolis.
