The National Democratic Congress (NDC) youth wing has condemned alleged attacks on some NDC youths that occurred on September 7, 2024, in the Ahafo Region.

In a statement posted on X and signed by George Opare Addo, the National Youth Organizer of the NDC, he said that the attackers ransacked the home of the party’s former constituency chairperson in the region.

Additionally, the Ahafo Regional Youth Organizer, Masawudu Suleman, was assaulted at the same residence that was targeted, the statement said.

“On September 7, 2024, some NDC youth were unjustifiably attacked by NPP thugs. The home of our former Constituency Chairperson in the affected area was ransacked, and the Ahafo Regional Youth Organizer, Masawudu Suleman, was assaulted in the same residence,” parts of the statement read.

The party has since issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the Ahafo Regional Police to arrest individuals responsible for the attacks.

They have warned that they will consider taking retaliatory measures if the police fails to meet demands by the deadline.

“The Ahafo Regional Police have 48 hours to arrest the culprits, or we will retaliate with full force,” the statement added.

PRESS STATEMENT

On September 7, 2024, some NDC youth were unjustifiably attacked by NPP thugs.

The home of our former Constituency Chairperson in the affected area was ransacked, and the Ahafo Regional Youth Organizer, Masawudu Suleman, was assaulted in the same residence.

- The NPP, knowing their defeat is imminent on December 7, 2024, has resorted to weaponizing violence across the country.

- The NDC Youth Wing condemns these attacks as direct assaults on our party. We are officially in defense mode and will not tolerate any further provocation.

- The Ahafo Regional Police have 48 hours to arrest the culprits, or we will retaliate with full force.

-If the agents of the NPP within the Police fail to arrest these lawless hooligans within the next 48 hours, the NDC Youth Wing will respond in a more brutal, decisive, and forceful manner in seven days. They should take note.

-We will not be intimidated by the NPP or misguided NPP activists in the Police Service. Any further aggression will be met with swift and decisive action.

-All NDC youth are hereby directed to remain on high alert and fully prepared to defend themselves at all times.
