Revealed: Angry NDC thugs attacked Eric Opoku

The Brong Ahafo regional Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC has said that the party youth in the region knows nothing about the attack of former BA Regional Minister, Eric Opoku.
In a statement copied to Adomonline.com, Abronye DC alleged that the attacks were visited on the former Minister by some thugs of the NDC.
According to him, the thugs attacked Eric Opoku for failing to fulfil a promise he made to them.
There were reports of attacks on the former head of the Regional Security Council (ReGSEC) in the Brong Ahafo region by some unidentified persons.
The NDC blamed the attack on vigilante groups belonging to the NPP.
This allegation, Abronye DC said is unfounded and hence called on the police to investigate alleging the former Regional Minister knows the people that attacked him.
Below is the statement from Abronye DC
PRESS STATEMENT BY THE BRONG AHAFO YOUTH WING.
RE: “ERIC OPOKU ATTACK”
We, the above mentioned association would like to state categorically, unambiguously and emphatically clear that, the said attack on Hon. Eric Opoku, prior to the Christmas celebration’s which was deem to have been masterminded by youth thugs of the NPP is a fallacy, a false statement, a blind and empty allegation, a misrepresentation of facts, that is to say that, the NPP youth tagged with that vandalism are guiltless and innocent.
However, we would like to set the facts straight and expose the perpetrators of that vandalism, dig the root and cause of that December 23 vandalism and adequately make recommendations to the police for further and thorough investigations.
To start with, Hon. Eric Opoku the former B/A regional minister and the current member of Parliament for Asunafo South constituency prior to the Christmas eve on 23rd December 2017 allegedly and falsely accused NPP youth as “thugs” because, they had vandalised his properties at his residence.
It must be noted that, Hon. Eric Opoku during his tenure as regional minister, recruited Atta kofi, Salifu, Adidas, Kwasi Adu,Kwabena Noah, Masahudu Teacher, Zack Fiter, Mahi, Jato, Walawalah, Danjima, Wrahub, Mumin, Issah, Escoba, Atida, Wayomi, Seidu Busanga and toffic into the assembly as employees and were subsequently placed on a pay roll receiving salaries from government funds.
After Hon Eric Opoku’s appointment was terminated due to the change of government, the above NDC youth thugs whose names were on the assembly’s payroll were immediately ejected by the DCE
It must also be noted that, the above mentioned names are notorious Thugs of the NDC who were contracted by the regional minister to chastise, admonish and castigate NPP folks.
It is of no doubt that, the Asunafo south constituency was in a state of insecurity during the era of Hon. Eric Opoku.
It is evidentially clear that, these boys (NDC thugs) brutalised one Pastor Nyame an evangelist to death for the reason of speaking against the Hon. Opoku. Kwasi Adu absconded but was afterwards arrested at the premises of Hon. Opoku by the police but was subsequently granted bail and the investigations discontinued upon the influence of the then Regional minister. These NDC thugs have engaged in numerous vandalisms. They are well known for that. And Hon. Could be held vicariously liable for their offences.
The former regional minister promised to pay these NDC youth Thugs Gh 600.00 each every month because their names had been ejected from the Assembly’s payroll by the current DCE of the Asunafo south district and also for them to continue to molest the NPP folks.
Hon Eric Opoku subsequently failed to fulfill his obligations of the contract by not paying the money to them.
Prior to the Christmas celebrations’, the Thugs paraded them selves to the residence of the Former Minister to collect their monies but the Hon. Minister was not in the capacity to pay any monies to them. The boys led by Kofi Atta became furious because they were demanding their monies to celebrate the Christmas. But there seemed to be no positive response from Hon. Eric Opoku. He ignored them so, the NDC thugs who became very aggressive, furious, angry, agitated, alarmed, perturbed, flustered and irrigated started to destroy properties and cars of their “boss” (Hon. Eric Opoku) because, they felt they had been deceived, lured, cheated, beguile and bamboozled by the former minister.
Hon. Eric Opoku immediately after the vandalism of his property instructed that all Close circuit televisions ( CCTV) in his premises be uninstalled and disconnected because he knows that the police might request for footages of the CCTV to aid them in investigations.
After this vandalism, it is astonishing to hear that, the NPP youth wing are being accused for the vandalism of Hon. Opoku’s property.
We wish to say that, we the youth of the NPP have no hands in this incident and not guilty of any offence and for that matter we are faultless and squeaky clean of this allegation and if anyone has evidence to prove our guilt can step forward.
We further more, wish to inform, notify and apprise the police to investigate, probe, explore and scrutinize this allegations duly, aptly and satisfactorily.
Signed
Kwame Baffoe Abronye.
