Deal with Anita de Soso too – NPP to Police
Deputy General Secretary of the governing New
Patriotic Party (NPP) has lashed out at the
security agencies for being biased in their
approach to addressing alleged criminal issues in
the country.

Mr Obiri Boahen accused the Police Service, under
John Kudalor of being pretentious as they suddenly
discover themselves when the cases involve
suspected NPP sympathizers.

After recounting a series of alleged criminal
cases involving some NDC bigwigs, he challenged
the Police to be fair in their dealings and go
after those people as crime has no deadline.

Mr. Obiri Boahen made these remarks as he
addressed a media briefing Wednesday 18 January at
the NPP head office at Asylum down.

“We remind the Police under John Kudalor that
they cannot suddenly discover themselves only when
events involve suspected NPP supporters and
sympathizers.
We demand even handedness from the Police. Crime
has no expiry date and we await what their
response will be in these cases which we have
recounted among others. The police must
demonstrate that their sword is double edged. They
cannot discover their muscle only when the event
involves suspected NPP sympathizers - Anita de
Soso and others are still around.”

He stated that the NDC has no authority to accuse
the NPP of acting wrongfully and against the law.

The NPP Deputy General Secretary also cautioned
the NDC, asserting that if the NDC should bring
into disrepute the name of the President Nana
Akufo-Addo, they will reply in equal measure.

“As for Hon. Kofi Portuphy, Asiedu Nketia, and
Koku Anyidoho and their gang, ladies and
gentlemen, we shall caution that from now on if
they throw mud on the president in whom we
unprecedentedly, overwhelmingly, majority of
Ghanaians have reposed their confidence in, we
will pay them back. Enough is enough.”

The NDC have organized a series of media
briefings, accusing the NPP of doing nothing about
post-election violence but rather urging them on
to take over state installations.

The NDC was handed a historic defeat in the
December 7 2016 general election and power has
transitioned from the NDC to the NPP with Nana
Akufo-Addo as President.

The NPP tasked the Police to ensure the
enforcement of laws that govern the country and
maintain the order and peace it enjoys.
