Six Butchered in NPP and NDC clash in Northern Region

Report says some members of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) at the Karaga constituency in the Northern region have engaged in a fearsome battle that has led to six people being severely injured.

According to the report, some supposed NDC fans on motorbikes stormed and attacked some members of the NPP during an NPP rally early on a Sung. Supposed members of the NPP unleashed a reprisal attack with the same format on members of the NDC days later at Yung during an NDC rally, which resulted in so many injuries.

This is what according to the report instigated another huge clash between both parties at the Karaga constituency, which has left six people severely injured. The report added that the majority of those injured are members of the NPP and are all currently taking treatment at the Karaga hospital.

Speaking in an interview this morning on Adom FM, Superintendent Baba Anaga, Regional Crime Officer of the Ghana Police Service in the Northern region stated that, the police are currently taking a thorough investigation into the matter and cannot confirm whether the clash was between the two political parties or not.

He added that the police have currently apprehended one person who currently is in police custody and helping the Police in the investigation. The Regional Crime Officer noted that the police service is mindful of reprisal attacks, hence ordered Police patrols from Yendi to the Karaga community to ensure peace and order.
