If we will recall, there was chaos at the NDC Women’s and Youth Congress which happened last year at the university of Cape Coast in the Central Region. During the elections, some youth took the laws into their own hands and disrupted the process but with the intervention of the police force voting took place.
The police made sure to leave no stone unturn by bringing the culprits to book so they face the law. To do that, their photos and information were released to the general public.
In that course two were arrested last week and two were also arrested this week.
The Police have arrested two more suspects wanted in connection with the violent disturbances that occurred during the NDC’s National Youth and Women’s Congress held on 10th December 2022, at Cape Coast in the Central Region.
The suspect Iddrisu Abass alias Jango who is believed to be the ring leader and suspect Dawda Mohammed Nazir were arrested at Kintampo and Wenchi in the Bono and Bono East regions respectively on 8th January, 2023. This brings to 4 the number of suspects arrested so far in connection with the disturbances.
In the course of the arrest , suspect Jango shot and wounded one of the Police officers. The officers returned fire and shot him in the legs.
Both the injured officer and the injured suspect are receiving medical attention and are in a stable condition.
Following the arrest, some youth of Wenchi massed up to attack the Police team but Police have since restored law, order and security in the area.
The faces of the suspects have been shown because they had been declared wanted with their images already displayed in our quest to seek public assistance in getting them arrested.
The targeted intelligence operations are still ongoing to arrest the remaining 12 suspects to face justice.
