The members according to reports are burning tyres among others to protest the decision to detain their Parliamentary candidate at the Police station on a weekend amidst the singing and chanting of war songs.
Former President, John Dramani Mahama has condemned the Police for the decision to not allow justice to prevail in the matter.
He believes this is a move to intimidate the parliamentary candidate and the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the run-up to the 2024 elections.
The NDC flagbearer has urged the Police to release Naa Koryor.
Read Mahama’s Statement Below
There is no justification for the decision by the Inspector General of Police George Dampare, on the orders of the National Security Advisor, Albert Kan Dapaah, to detain a Parliamentary Candidate for the Awutu Senya East Constituency in Police custody.
This action, taken on the instructions of the National Security Secretariat, will needlessly raise the political temperature in the country and spark avoidable tension.
The Police Service and the IGP must not allow themselves to be used to hang the peace and stability of our nation months before crucial national elections.
