But for the timely intervention of the Police, they would have forcefully ejected occupants of the flat.

Others also stormed the Tema Habour in the early hours of Monday demanding to be given control of some key installations of there. There were several reports across the country on Monday.

“We had a peaceful transition process and a colourful inauguration on Saturday only for these supporters to embark upon this shameful act. It is doesn’t augur well at all,” the governance expert said.

Prof. Agyeman-Duah said these when GHone’s current affairs programme State of Affairs, Monday.

Against that backdrop, he advised political parties to advise supporters to refrain from such actions as it could disrupt the nation’s peace and security.
