Defeated NDC candidate raises false alarm; Police rush in to find her making up
Police in Asamakese went on a wild goose chase
ostensibly to rescue the defeated National
Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary Candidate
for Lower West Akim, Shirley Naana Ampem, who was
reportedly under attack only to find her doing
pedicure.

There were false reports that some supporters of
the NPP and NDC had clashed on Sunday in
Asamankese during a health walk by the NPP.

The report said the NPP supporters allegedly
diverted their route to the street leading to the
house of the defeated NDC candidate, resulting in
a clash between the two groups. In the process,
the house of the MP reportedly came under attack
as some of the youth were pelting her residence
with stones.

Asamankese District Police Commander, DSP Anane
Appiah said his outfit received a distress call
from the Parliamentary candidate, following which
he mobilized his men and rushed to the defeated
candidate’s home, but was shocked to find out
that she made a false claim.

“This was the allegation that came to my office,
we swiftly went there and saw that it was not
true. It was just about two or three people who
were passing by the house of the defeated
Parliamentary candidate of the NDC, and some of
the guys in the house wanted to confront them.
They fabricated a story that the NPP people came
and attacked them. That was not true.”

He continued: “It was the PC who while in her
room called me that some people had come to attack
them. So we quickly went there less than five
minutes and we saw that she who called was in her
room making pedicure. Then I said you just rang me
that some people are attacking you and you are in
your room making pedicure. Then she said some of
her boys came and gave her that information.

Meanwhile, there were about six or seven cars
there, so if they really threw stones it would
have hit at the glass or bonnet of one of the cars
but we saw that it was not true.” DSP Anane
Appiah said.
