Two security personnel of the Volta Aluminium Company Limited (VALCO) were on Wednesday, January 8, 2025 assaulted by a group suspected to be supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The group allegedly stormed the company’s premises ostensibly to lock the offices of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Deputy CEO because of the end of Akufo-Addo’s tenure.
The Director of Human Resources and Administration at VALCO, Kwame Abubakar Essuman confirmed to Citi News that one of the security officers required medical attention.
“The officer was struck from behind with a stick, resulting in head swelling and general body pain. He has since been treated and discharged,” Essuman stated.
The Tema Newtown District Police Command has assured VALCO of heightened security to prevent further incidents.
