A group of men believed to be associated with the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) brutally attacked a man at the forecourt of the Jubilee House during the ‘aagbe wo’ demonstration last Thursday.
After walking long distances under the scorching sun in Accra, the demonstrators arrived at the Jubilee House- their final destination, to present a petition to the government.
A few meters from the entrance of the seat of government, a gentleman dressed in suit was spotted by a section of the demonstrators who immediately raised an alarm, claiming he was a member of the Delta Forces that attacked some members of the NDC in the Ayawaso West Wuogon during the by-election on January 31.
The gentleman, whose identity could not be verified, claimed he was a National Security operative, but the irate demonstrators insisted that he belongs to the NPP.
Punches started flying from all angles while the gentleman helplessly clutched his hands to his face.
A police officer quickly rushed to his aid and asked the gentleman to flee quickly but the irate NDC goons pursued him with vigour and beat him relentlessly.
Even the policeman who tried to intervene was not spared, as some of the hefty blows meant for the supposed operative landed on his white helmet.
In the ensuing melee, more police officers got involved in the rescue mission and the situation nearly turned into a bloody clash between NDC sympathizers and the Ghana Police Service, as some of the demonstrators redirected their anger to the police officers for trying to save the hapless man.
The police, however, managed to whisk him to the Afrikiko Leisure Centre, which is adjacent to the Jubilee House.
Following the attack, scores of the demonstrators took to the media to make threatening statements.
Some of them swore to take the fight to members of the Delta and Invincible Forces any day, anywhere they met, while others claimed they were ready to go by the ‘Boot-for-Boot’declaration by former President John Dramani Mahama.
“JM said ‘boot for boot’. It’s not going to be boot-for-boot. It’s going to be stone for stone; fire for fire, war for war, mark it,” an angry demonstrator declared.

YOU ARE TRYING HARD TO EQUALIZE, ABI? GROUP OF DEMONSTRATORS WHO WERE NOT IN ANY PARTY UNIFORM. HOW DO YOU CONCLUDE THEY WERE NDC?.
@ NO WONDER. HOW TRUTHFUL YOU'VE BEEN.YOU CAN GO NO FURTHER.
this is what akoffo addo and npp have turn ghana into, CRY OH GHANA
Brain - you don't know what is happening. do you say you want to sit in your corner and enjoy your chilled beer. I bet you when it explodes in our faces you will not even have taste for water. we are joking in this country. akuffo addo is leading into the cliff
Unbelievable! The people who were calling for justice and peace got into this ***barred word***? OMG! What were they trying to achieve with that? Equalization? Then, is it necessary the president set up a commission of inquiry to investigate? After all, they've achieved their aim. They've equalized and responded to the call for a boot for boot by JDM. Now those condemning the Ayawaso should stop and give us some peaceful atmosphere to think. NPP and NDC will not agree until the last person dies, and there's no one else to kill. My point is that the failure of the police to arrest those demonstrators that got involved in the brawl suggests even the cops are unwilling to help stop the rot. Unfortunately!
Any national security personnel who goes about telling people he is from the national security is simply an ediot. National security personnel don't reveal their identity. This is the reason why some of us were so surprised that they were in uniform wielding guns and openly firing at innocent Ghanaians. This guy i learnt was boasting he was from the national security to the demonstrators, forgetting that just last week some of his colleagues shot so many people and the result was the demonstration, so for him to be around openly smacks of fuulishnesss. If they had killed him, he would have caused it.
Why would they even go to the Jubilee house is the seat of government the residence of the IGP ? this means they were out there for trouble and they should have been taught sense! nkwas*eafuo, NPP has no room to entertain f00*00ls! aaaah and did they get there and who gave audience to these idi*ots ? if they are for war they will regret it, nobody is going to tolerate their non*sense ! why didnt they fight back at the polling station but rather attacking somebody by the road side of the Jubilee house ,that means they were going to cause trouble and they would have smelt pepper, nkwa*seafuo ! ndc will rot in opposition! Nkurasefuo!
Clearly an attempt by a ***barred word*** newspaper to even the scores. This could have dominated the news throuhout the week.
WHEN A F001LISHMAN MARRIED TO A F001LISHWOMAN, THEY GIVE BIRTH TO F0001S, CONVERSELY, WHEN YOU ARE AFFILIATED TO A F0001ISH PARTY LIKE THE NDC, YOU EXPECT F0001ISH MEMBERS TO JOIN YOU.
