The Youth Wing of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has called for the prosecution of persons arrested during the Democracy Hub demonstration over the weekend.
The Youth Wing said it has taken notice of the acts of vandalism, destruction of property, unlawful assembly, and assault on public officers by some of the demonstrators.
A statement signed by Salam Mustapha, the National Youth Organiser, said ‘’These were acts perpetuated by miscreants and hooligans masquerading as demonstrators under the name Democracy Hub’’.
He asked law-abiding Ghanaians to support the police in their efforts to prosecute those involved in these criminal activities.
The organiser maintained that persons who take the law into their own hands and commit such criminal activities under the guise of a demonstration must be held accountable and face the law in our courts.
The statement added that ‘’the Youth Wing of the NPP wishes to emphasise that the non-prosecution of these miscreants who caused ample public discomfort will serve as a motivation for more serious acts to come in the future, as it will develop a culture of impunity. We therefore throw our full weight behind the police and also urge all well-meaning Ghanaians to also do so’’.
