The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), says it is not perturbed by the deportation of the three South African ex-police officers contracted to train the security detail of its Flagbearer and running mate.<\/p>\n
According to the NPP, it will go ahead and train more bodyguards to ensure maximum security for Nana Akufo Addo and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia.<\/p>\n

That is non-negotiable. So whether the South Africans have been sent home or not, we will take that step to protect our presidential candidate and his running mate and of course by extension, to also offer some protection to all those who will be on the campaign trail until the Police come with their help.\u201d<\/p>\n Sammy Awuku’s comment\u00a0follows the repatriation of the three South African ex-Police officers who were arrested in Ghana for training the security detail of the NPP Flagbearer and Running Mate of the opposition NPP.<\/p>\n Their visas were revoked by the Ghana Immigration Service after the service claimed that the three concealed their motives for being in Ghana.<\/p>\n On how the party feels about the repatriation of the retired South African Police officers, Sammy Awuku said \u201cwe feel that the security agencies acted in the most despicable and reckless manner with\u00a0impunity.\u201d<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Godwin A.
