emergency steering committee meeting<\/a><\/strong><\/span> which was organized in the absence of the party\u2019s National Chairman and General Secretary a few weeks ago.<\/p>\nNarrating the said attacks, the Deputy Communications Director said the incident happened after a planned evening meeting with the National Chairman, Paul Afoko at Cantonments in Accra\u00a0did not come on.<\/p>\n
\u201cI picked a taxi from NAFTI that was going towards 37\u2026when we got to Brigade junction which is about 200 meters away from the Kpeshie Divisional Police Command; I alighted because I had gotten to my destination.<\/p>\n
There were no taxis at the taxi rank and since my house is not very far, I decided to walk. I just took a few steps; about 20 meters away\u2026I saw this vehicle; a Nissan Primera throwing light at me\u2026the vehicle got close to me and stopped with two occupants \u2013 a driver and one other person at the front seat.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said the unknown persons warned him to \u201clearn to keep quiet otherwise they will kill me.\u201d<\/p>\n
When he asked for further clarification on who had sent them, \u201cthe guy attempted to pull me by the collar of my shirt and he stepped on my left foot\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Ampong mentioned that he struggled with them until his neighbours started coming around.<\/p>\n
Narrating the second attack on him, the Deputy Communications Director alleged that some well-built men wearing black outfits attempted to break into his house but he called the Police and the BNI to investigate.<\/p>\n
He clarified that he is not \u201ctelling stories\u201d and neither could he confirm whether his attackers were NPP members of members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).<\/p>\n
According to him, since 2008, he has engaged in a number of scuffles with some members of the NDC \u201cso I have a way of securing where I sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ampong described himself as a fortunate person considering the fact that the Upper East Regional chairman of the party had been murdered through an acid attack.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you look at what has happened to my brother and colleague, Adam Mahama, I have been fortunate. I have been attacked twice and I escaped.\u201d<\/p>\n
