Some supporters of the National Democratic Congress party have apprehended four individuals allegedly involved in looting Agenda 111 construction materials during a citizen's arrest in the Awutu Senya West Constituency.

According to a video report sighted by GhanaWeb, the four suspects were reportedly caught loading the construction materials into a truck parked near the construction site.

Their actions caught the attention of residents, who then carried out the arrests.

Speaking to the media, one of the NDC supporters who facilitated the arrest explained that the detained individuals remained silent when questioned about who had given them the authority to take the materials.

He denied widespread claims that supporters of the party have been looting items and vandalising properties following the elections, stating that certain unscrupulous individuals are attempting to tarnish the party's reputation by falsely associating themselves with criminal activities.

“Yesterday, we were having a meeting with the police commander when I got a call from someone informing me of two cars parked close to where the Agenda 111 project is being built. He said some individuals were parking the iron rods from the site and I immediately informed the commander about the incident. He told me to get them arrested which baffled me because he is a police commander.

“Just this evening, I got another call telling me of another truck parked at the site, looting the construction materials. We arrested them and brought them to the police station. We are trying to question them as to who sent them but they are not telling us,” he said.

He added, “We are waiting for the contractor to arrive so we ask him if he sent them. When people saw them stealing, they immediately branded them as NDC boys. We are wild on the ground and monitoring everywhere and government property. I urge every Ghanaian to do same…”
