The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Majority in Parliament has accused Kofi Totobi Quakyi, a former Minister for National Security, and Larry Gbevlo-Lartey, a former National Security Coordinator, of orchestrating violent incidents following the 2024 General Elections.

The alleged acts, said to involve individuals linked to the National Democratic Congress (NDC), reportedly include attacks on government officials and state institutions, as reported by 3News.

This accusation comes shortly after President-elect John Dramani Mahama announced an interim national security team to oversee security matters before permanent appointments.

Both Quakyi and Gbevlo-Lartey are part of this team, raising concerns from the NPP about their alleged involvement in the unrest.

At a press briefing, Deputy Majority Leader Patricia Appiagyei expressed alarm over the implications of the alleged violence on national security.

“We have received reliable intelligence indicating that acts of violence and thuggery are being orchestrated by certain elements of the NDC leadership.

Totobi Quakyi and Col. (Rtd) Larry Gbevlo-Lartey are key figures behind these thugs, inspiring them to commit violence against innocent Ghanaians,” she stated.

The Majority also warned of plans to escalate the violence following Mahama’s swearing-in and called on citizens to remain vigilant.

Appiagyei urged the public to report any suspicious activities to the relevant security agencies.

Adding to these concerns, Majority Chief Whip Frank Annoh-Dompreh called on the President-elect to take immediate steps to address the alleged violence.

He urged Mahama to demonstrate leadership by condemning the actions and ensuring accountability within his party.

“They [the NDC] claim ignorance, yet these hooligans chant their slogans, ‘3y3 Zu, 3y3 Za,’ while causing chaos.

If the President-elect does not act, we will be forced to take necessary legal measures to protect the nation’s security and ensure no one takes us for granted,” Annoh-Dompreh remarked.

The NPP's accusations have heightened tensions in the aftermath of a contentious election.

They have urged security agencies to investigate the incidents thoroughly and ensure those responsible are held accountable.
