The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) Chairman for New Juabeng North, Kwadwo Boateng Agyemang has indicated that the Member of Parliament for Odododiodio Constituency, and former Sports Minister under John Dramani Mahama’s regime, Edwin Nii Lante Vanderpuye should have rather been slapped 15 times by operatives from the National Security.

The former Minister of Sports and MP for Odododiodo Constituency, Nii Lante Vanderpuye alleged on Tuesday that he was assaulted by men believed to be operatives from the National Security.

According to the NDC Stalwart, alongside him, his research assistant, Sam Laryea; editor, Albert Ofori; and one of the ward executives, Nii Commey were allegedly attacked by the men. He also added that his car was vandalized.

Commenting on the issue on "Dwene ho biom' - a Political talk show hosted by Chairman KK Asamoah on Hot 93.9FM, the NPP chairman for New Juabeng North, Kwadwo Boateng Agyemang, indicated angrily that the former Sports Minister should have been given fifteen slaps on his face.

According to the New Juabeng North's NPP Chairman, Nii Lante deserved more than what happened to him, thus it was a payback in his own coin.

“Tell Nii Lante that his own brother says he should have been slapped fifteen times..They should have slapped him in his face just so he could learn a lesson” he jabbed.
