Prestea: Thumb-cutting incident occurred not politically-motivated

-

Claim: An X user, @OfficialBigkay, claims an NDC supporter had cut off the thumb of an NPP member in Bolgatanga.

Verdict: Misleading

Verification:

Our findings reveal that a man’s thumb was cut off following an altercation with another person.

However, the incident had nothing to do with the two leading political parties, NDC and NPP.

Checks by the Ghana Fact-Checking Coalition indicate the incident occurred in Prestea in the Prestea-Huni Valley District of the Western region, not in Bolgatanga
