NPP, NDC mayhem: CCTVs can help – Analyst
Resorting to surveillance cameras can unravel the
sequence of events that resulted in clashes
between supporters of the New Patriotic Party
(NPP) and the governing National Democratic
Congress (NDC) and end the blame game by the two
sides, David Agbey, a security analyst, has
suggested.

On Sunday November 13, there were clashes between
the supporters of the two parties who were
embarking on simultaneous health walks in front of
the Nima residence of the presidential candidate
of the NPP, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. There
were a few gun shots during the confrontation.
Both parties have accused each other of
masterminding the violence.

For instance, Nana Akomea, NPP Director of
Communications, issued a statement accusing NDC
executives of initiating the violence.

On the other hand, Kofi Adams, National Organiser
of the NDC, blamed Mr Akufo-Addo for the cause of
the clash.

He told Chief Jerry Forson, host of Ghana Yensom
on Accra100.5FM, that: “What Nana Addo knows is
all-die-be-die. His own party executives, he
chased them out with machetes and guns. Let us
tell Nana Addo that he can’t be president
through violence.”

“President Mahama is governing the country. He
needs a peaceful Ghana and so the NDC will not
attempt to cause violence in Ghana.”

Mr Agbey said: “I strongly believe that there
will be security cameras in Nana Akufo-Adddo’s
house. If nobody had tampered with those security
cameras there, then the videos would help the
investigations by unravelling the true cause of
the mayhem.”

“CCTV cameras were manufactured following rising
crime across the world. The manufacturers produced
them to help fight crime and also to help in
identification and so the security cameras in Nana
Addo’s house can capture all the scenes that
took place on Sunday and help unravel the
miscreants behind the mayhem. The CCTV cameras are
not there for fun, they are there for security
reasons. They can help the police to bring out the
miscreants.”
