The Savannah Regional New Patriotic Party led by Chairman Alhaji Iddrisu Sulemana has condemned the fresh raid, arrest and brutality of some youth in Daboya Mankarigu in the North Gonja District following the impasse in the last few weeks.
The party in a press release signed by the regional secretary, Mr Issah Mohammed said that the recent raid and arrest is undesirable, completely needless and a slap in the face of the progress made in the last unfortunate incident.
According to the press release, the raid has rather heightened the already tensed situation in the area.
The press statement added that the revered Chiefs in our dear Region including the King and overlord, Yagbonwura Bikunto Jewu Soale l, had intervened alongside all other subjects under his rule. This followed other interventions of the Regional Minister, Regional Chairman of the NPP, MDCEs and some Members of Parliament in the Region.
“The New Patriotic Party is shocked and surprised that in spite of all these, the Police raided the area in a similar fashion as before. The “Rambo” arrests and brutalities visited on our people as described is barbaric and uncivilized in modern times as ours. We condemn same in no uncertain terms”, the statement added.
The statement indicated that the good people of Daboya have shown decency and respect for the rule of law and should not be taken through such degrading and inhuman actions of the police.
The party therefore called on the IGP and all well-meaning Ghanaians, to as a matter of urgency intervene so to restore calm in that part of the Region.
According to the statement the deployment of National Security, the Police CID in such an intimidating manner is a cause of worry to the people of the area, especially when there is no conflict in Daboya.
The brutality in this era is uncalled for and must be stopped.
The Savannah Regional NPP is with the good people of Wasipe and the North Gonja District in these trying moments, the press release concludes.
