Davis Opoku Ansah, an aide to the General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwabena Agyepong, has justified his boss\u2019 decision to report the attack on him at the party headquarters on Tuesday to the Police.<\/p>\n
The rear windscreen of Mr. Agyepong\u2019s 4-wheel drive was smashed at the NPP headquarters on Tuesday by unknown persons, after he left a Steering Committee meeting, where he had gone to inform the leadership of a pending court suit over the suspension of the party\u2019s National Chairman, Paul Afoko.<\/p>\n
Citi News’<\/strong> Duke Opoku Mensah who was at the party head office said the angry supporters attacked the vehicle because they believed Mr. Agyepong had attempted to disrupt the meeting over the pending lawsuit.<\/p>\n [contextly_sidebar id=”pq9e8NMSQmmBUu12T2RrHbUDWaoIyQzD”]A vociferous party member, popularly known as Hajia Fati, was arrested on Wednesday afternoon over her alleged involvement in the incident and was later granted bail in the sum of Ghc10, 000 after being interrogated.<\/p>\n Hajia Fati has told Citi News her arrest was needless since Kwabena Agyepong caused the damage to the car himself.<\/p>\n Some have criticized Mr. Agyepong for involving the police in a matter that could have been handled internally by the party.<\/p>\n But Mr. Agyepong\u2019s aide, Davis Opoku Ansah, says his boss acted appropriately.<\/p>\n \u201cIf somebody breaks into your house or car, as a law abiding citizen you need to report to the police. The report was not made by Kwabena Agyepong personally; it was those who were with him that reported the matter. So it\u2019s not as if Kwabena Agyepong had gone to report a member of the party to the police. Secondly, if you have a car that is well insured, you need a police report to make claims from the insurance company so that\u2019s what we went to do. I am not too sure if someone went to mention names at the police headquarters but let\u2019s allow the police to do its work. If the police think that this is something that is repeating itself and they want to put a stop to it, so be it”.<\/p>\n
