Richard Ahiabgah, the national communications director of the NPP, has revealed that the CSU student who was allegedly assaulted by alleged supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has officially lodged a complaint with the Ashanti Regional Police Command.

Addressing a press conference on Monday, he condemned the act on the student.

He said the case has now been reported to the Ashanti Regional Police Command, as the NPP is keenly following up until the perpetrators are brought to book.

During a public lecture by former President John Dramani Mahama at the CSU on Wednesday, Nana Boakye, a member of the NPP's student wing, responded with “Mahama will lose” to a remark about Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the NPP flagbearer.

Subsequently, he was allegedly assaulted by alleged supporters of the NDC who were around.

But reacting to the student's conduct, Richard Ahiagbah said Nana Boakye did nothing wrong with the comment he passed.

According to him, the TESCON member only expressed his fundamental human right, which allows every Ghanaian freedom of expression and thought.

"The University invited every student to join the public lecture without discrimination. As the fundamental human right in our constitution allows for everyone to express their views, President Mahama expressed his views during the lecture. He even went ahead to make a mockery of our flagbearer and received applause."

"It was your view to make a mockery of our flagbearer, and Nana Boakye equally expressed his view by saying, 'Mahama will lose.' Why did you have to attack someone for equally exercising his fundamental human rights as a Ghanaian? Or would it have been normal for the NPP to equally attack the former president for making a mockery of our flagbearer? Is that what they wanted us to do in return? We are peace-abiding, and that is why we want the police to ensure justice is served," he said.

The national communications director, however, wants the police to expedite action by bringing the perpetrators to book to serve as a deterrent to others.
