The Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram, Sam George says he has been attacked by members of the NPP Invincible Forces at the ongoing Ayawaso West Wuogon bye-election.
In a facebook post, he said: "I have just been assaulted by several members of the NPP Invincible Forces attired in National Security Council shirts and vests. They fired several rounds of ammunition at me simply because I was doing my legal job of monitoring the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election. President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, I am grateful to you".
However, a report filed by Peace FM's correspondent, Akwasi Agyemang indicated even though there was violence at the Bawaleshie Presby electoral area, it cannot be possible that several shots were fired at Sam George and that if 'several shots' were really fired, he (Sam George) would not be alive.
What Actually happened
According to UTV's Prince Ahenkan another correspondent n the ground, a group of people believed to be NPP's invisible forces, stormed the polling station insisting that nobody votes because they suspect foul play.
The police personnel including the SWAT team confronted them and that led to a misunderstanding.
Prior to this, one gentleman was seen taking pictures of Hon. Sam George while he was driving to the polling station and that also led to a confrontation because the security personnel did not understand why he was doing that.
Calm has however been restored and voting is ongoing.
The ongoing bye-election is to choose a member of Parliament to replace Kyeremanteng Agyarko who passed away on November 21, 2018.

It’s becoming obvious that the ndc staged this whole reprehensible drama. Why can’t they let us have peace in this country. Just because of their selfish gains, they want to hold the whole country to ransome? Painting the country black to the international community? This is indeed very sad and shämëful!!
Kwaaaaaasiaaaa liar. U fuuuuuuul. U think we’re fuuuuuuuuls eh. No wonder you don’t like free shs. Fi ye so.
Kw33333 Sam George you be Captain Planet?
This man is a disgrace to Parliament. Is he a metal or an embodiment of pullet proof?/ Does he have a bullet-proof skin???. He was shot at several times and yet he is alive??? Several times???
This is a ploy to paint Npp invisible forces black. Sam George is a disgrace to Ghana's legislature. He has been dishonourable
Even with bullet proof vest you wouldn't have survived. Or they were using water pistols
You are a shame to christianity . How can you lie through your 32 teeth without the pricking of your conscience by good sense it pains me i ma in the same church with you.
