Attack on Akufo-Addo residence: NPP accuses Ako Gunn

The New Patriotic Party is pointing accusing figures at one of the Montie 3, Ako Gunn, for masterminding Sundays attack at the Nima residence of Nana Akufo-Addo.

In a statement condemning the attack, the NPP said the "large crowd" was led by Ako Gunn, who massed up in front of Akufo-Addo's home and attacked his security details and valuable properties.

It said: "Early this morning, a large crowd of NDC supporters led by one Ako Gunn, one of the Muntie 3 who was recently pardoned by President Mahama after being jailed for threatening to rape and murder the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, massed up in front of the home of Nana Addo, and violently attacked the security detail outside the presidential candidate’s house. "

Police officers at the Nima Police Station which is close to the Akufo-Addo's residence intervened to prevent further attacks.

The statement, signed by the party's Director of Communications, Nana Akomea, said the motive for the attack is to create an atmosphere of fear within Ghana 24 days to the election.

It further called on the Peace Council and the Civil Society Organisations to condemn the act since it is a threat to the country's democracy.

"Such behavior is a threat to the integrity of our democracy and must not be tolerated. We call on the National Peace Council, the Christian Council, and all Civil Society Organisations to let their voices be heard in condemnation of this violent act," the statement said.
