The incident, which happened on Thursday led to the destruction of food prepared for pupils of the school.
The Member of Parliament for the area, Mohammed Braimah has since condemned the attack and has subsequently called on the leadership of the NPP to call their supporters to order.
The attack on the school caterers comes on the back of seizure of state properties by alleged NPP members following the investiture of Mr Akufo-Addo.

This had often resulted in clashes between supporters of the two parties.
Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, the national chairman of the NDC Kofi Portuphy said the New Patriotic Party government and Ghanaians at large should not blame the NDC if they decide to respond to the attacks in equal measure.
“We are calling on civil society, religious bodies, the media, and the international community not to blame the NDC if the unacceptable conduct of Akufo-Addo’s Invincible Forces leads to reprisal attacks,” he said.
Mr Portuphy argued that the NDC bequeathed a “peaceful Ghana” to the NPP and hence the new administration must endeavour to protect it.

“We have worked assiduously to build peace in Ghana. We won’t destroy that peace we have bequeathed to the NPP… We have respected our security services and we hope the change of government has not changed their position,” Mr. Portuphy added.
Meanwhile, the police have indicated that they are on top of the issue and would soon arrest those involved.
