Pius Enam Hadzide, the Deputy Minister of Information, has blamed the General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC),

He said Nketia, who is popularly known as General Mosquito, emboldened the group with his endorsements of vigilantes in the NDC.

Over the weekend, a youth group called "Al Qaeda" assaulted the General Secretary of the NDC in the Northern Region.

As a result, he sustained multiple injuries. In addition, he had the windshield of his vehicle smashed by the vigilante group.

“It’s disgusting and a disgrace to the NDC party especially Asiedu Nketia. He publicly endorsed these vigilante groups in the party,” Hadzide said.

The matter has been reported to the Northern Regional Police Command while the former District Chief Executive (DCE) for Central Gonja was issued with a medical to seek attention at the Tamale Teaching Hospital.
