Damongo/June 16, 2023/ Abdulai Zulkaninu
The NPP in the Savannah region has called on the IGP and other meaningful stakeholders to as a matter of urgency, retake a look at the “Rambo” style arrest being made by the security at Daboya, the north Gonja district capital of the Savannah region.
The NPP said Daboya is not a war zone, yet security agencies keep raiding the town to cause some unexplained arrest. The party assures that it is fully with the good people of Wasipe traditional area and North Gonja District in these trying moments.
In a statement signed by Mohammed Issah the Regional Secretary and copied padfm.com.gh, it states “the party is calling on the IGP and all well-meaning Ghanaians, to as a matter of urgency intervene so to restore calm in that part of the Region. The deployment of National Security, the Police CID in such an intimidating manner is a cause of worry to the people of the area, especially when there is no conflict in Daboya. The brutality in this era is uncalled for and must be stopped. The Savannah Regional NPP is with the good people of Wasipe and the North Gonja District in these trying moments”.
Read below, the detailed released by the NPP.
For Immediate Release 16.06.2023
PRESS RELEASE ON POLICE BRUTALITIES IN WASIPE, DABOYA
The Savannah Regional Party led by Chairman Alhaji Iddrisu Sulemana is saddened by the fresh raid, arrest and brutality of some Youth in Daboya Mankarigu in the North Gonja District following the impasse in the last few weeks. This recent raid and arrest is undesirable, completely needless and a slap in the face of the progress made in the last unfortunate incident. The raid has rather heightened the already tensed situation in the area.
The revered Chiefs in our dear Region including the King and overlord, Yagbonwura Bikunto Jewu Soale I had intervened alongside all other subjects under his rule. This followed other interventions of the Regional Minister, Regional Chairman of the NPP, MDCEs and some Members of Parliament in the Region.
The New Patriotic Party is shocked and surprised that in spite of all these, the Police raided the area in a similar fashion as before. The “Rambo” arrests and brutalities visited on our people as described is barbaric and uncivilized in modern times as ours. We condemn same in no uncertain terms.
The good people of Daboya have shown decency and respect for the rule of law and should not be taken through such degrading and inhuman actions of the police.
The party is calling on the IGP and all well-meaning Ghanaians, to as a matter of urgency intervene so to restore calm in that part of the Region. The deployment of National Security, the Police CID in such an intimidating manner is a cause of worry to the people of the area, especially when there is no conflict in Daboya. The brutality in this era is uncalled for and must be stopped. The Savannah Regional NPP is with the good people of Wasipe and the North Gonja District in these trying moments.
THE END
Mohammed Issah
Savannah Regional Secretary.
