Security Analyst, Dr. Kwesi Anning has cautioned Ghanaians not to politicize the tragic death of the New Patriotic Party(NPP) Upper East Regional Chairman, Adam Mahama.
For Dr. Anning, the matter should be treated as a purely criminal one, because politicizing the motives will aggravate the situation.

“There may be political difficulties but somebody who is not related to that political difficulty may exploit that difficult situation for their own benefit,”he added.
The party’s Chairman died from his injuries from an acid attack on Thursday morning at the Bolgatanga Regional hospital.
Two unidentified persons poured acid on him on Wednesday evening and escaped.
One of the suspects who was earlier arrested has been released.
Dr. Anning called on party officials to be patient while investigations into incident continues.
“…we need to be patient and allow the investigators to do their work as quickly as possible, come out with their results so the people who are arrested can be punished to serve as a deterrent,” he said.
