The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has called for an investigation into the alleged assault on a student at Christian Service University College by individuals believed to be members of the National Democratic Congress.
The young man, Nana Boakye, was allegedly assaulted during a speech by Mr. Mahama.
He is reported to have shouted, ‘Mahama will lose,’ in response to remarks directed at Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the presidential candidate of the NPP.
Communication Director Richard Ahiagbah condemned the alleged assault on the student and demanded a probe into it.
This was after he had visited Nana Boakye to express his support on Saturday, June 22, 2024.
According to him, no Ghanaian should suffer such ‘senseless and lawless’ abuse for exercising their right to free speech.
“It is absolutely unacceptable for anyone to be assaulted for merely expressing their opinion. Nana Boakye did nothing wrong by disagreeing with former President Mahama. The attempt by the Ashanti NDC to downplay this issue is equally troubling.”
“It is deeply troubling that the police have not taken action to arrest those responsible for this vicious assault on Nana Boakye. We demand justice for him and a thorough investigation into this matter.”
He underscored the need for the government and relevant authorities to ensure the protection of free speech and hold those responsible for such acts of violence accountable.
