Tema East Member of Parliament, Nii Kwartei Titus-Glover, says the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Muhammed Alhassan, must resign over his “failure” to arrest supporters of the governing party who vandalised State property in protest against the re-nomination of certain District Chief Executives.

“I feel very disappointed with the IGP; honestly I feel very disappointed”, Mr. Titus-Glover told Radio XYZ’s news magazine programme Strict Proof on Friday, adding that: “…The IGP must resign; the regional police Commander [of the Volta region] and District Commander of Nkwanta must equally resign”.

The opposition Legislator’s call for the IGP’s resignation comes a few days after irate youth supporters of the National Democratic Congress torched five vehicles belonging to the Nkwanta North District Assembly in the Volta region to demonstrate their displeasure with the president’s re-nomination of the incumbent District Chief Executive for the same position.

The angry youth say Livingstone Gyato is a mole within the NDC and were therefore befuddled by his re-appointment by the president.

A week earlier, there had been similar violence and mayhem in Salaga in the Northern region following the president’s nomination of Aminu Lookman as District Chief Executive.

Irate youth of the Party torched the Constituency Office and vandalised property to express their disagreement with the president.

Mr. Titus–Glover wondered why the Police have still not arrested any of the hoodlums since the mayhem started.

"...With immediate effect, the IGP must effect arrest; if he cannot do it then he should just leave his job”, the law maker fumed.

“The IGP is not serving the Executive; he is not serving the president; he is serving a nation; so if people can take government property and destroy them and you are sitting down aloof waiting for Supreme Court verdict before you take action, then I don’t see what you are doing”, he charged.

According to him, “they saw them destroying and burning the vehicles of the state…the police should stop all these cover up; if it is an NPP person who had burnt down these properties, wouldn’t they have arrested the person by now?”
