A supporter of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), identified only as Opei, has accused his party members of being behind yesterday’s violence.

To him, some National Democratic Congress (NDC) youth, who had defected to the elephant party, still had unsettled issues with their former members, and a result of that rage was what was witnessed.

For peace to reign, he said, party leaders should ensure all defiant members are sacked from the party to prevent a looming ‘war’.

What was supposed to be a peace walk turned bloody, when NPP youth had a disagreement with NDC youth over territories.
