The police administration says\u00a0it is\u00a0investigating the recent raid at the headquarters of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).<\/p>\n

Although the police claimed that information they have gathered so far are sketchy, they have given the assurance they will make their findings public after the investigations.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”cVOYjZxoLVzAphM6nv2YywZoavUDMfKr”]Some men dressed in military uniforms and other attires reportedly ransacked the NPP headquarters on Monday dawn.<\/p>\n

They were said to have searched the offices after locking up the security guards on duty taking away items that included a computer hard drive.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, 11 persons have so far been arrested in connection with the act.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Eyewitness News<\/strong>, the Director of Public Affairs of the Ghana Police Service, Superintendent Cephas Arthur, was tight-lipped on whether some weapons were found at the office\u00a0when the Police got to the scene.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe official account we are getting for now\u00a0is still sketchy. Police received a distress call that a group of persons have raided the NPP headquarters and so the police aptly responded to the call to ensure that calm was restored. Eventually when everything had calmed\u00a0down, other aspects of policing was set into motion, that is,\u00a0 personnel from the crimes department were dispatched to the place to conduct investigations on the scene of crime to pick pieces of evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs I speak, that is what we are still doing; we are still investigating the incident. The Police are proceeding with our investigation, and at the appropriate time, if there is any signal of weapons, we will put it in the public domain,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
