NPP Members Swarm Police Headquarters

Scores of activists belonging to the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) have besieged the Police Headquarters in Accra demanding the release of outspoken Member of Parliament for Assin North, Kennedy Agyapong.

The lawmaker is being investigated by the Police Criminal Investigations Department (CID) for making some treasonable comments last week on his radio station, Oman FM.

It is unclear if he will be released or spend the night in CID cells, but what peacefmonline.com can confirm is that the NPP firebrand reported to the Police CID on Monday morning upon an invitation from the Police CID.

The Assin North MP, in anger at the assault meted out to Ursula Owusu, the party's Ablekuma South Parliamentary Candidate at Tarzan, a registration centre in Odododiodoo, declared "war" and vowed to lynch any "fake" security operative.

"I said this in Mantse Agbona, if you dress up anybody in fake security outfit and present him, we will lynch him. This is war and I am telling Gbvelo Lartey that the war starts from now. Yes! I declare war today," Ken Agyapong said on OmanFM.

Lawyer for the MP, Mr. Atta Akyea told the media that according to the Police CID, the comments made by his client are treasonable which could also incite a section of the public to cause chaos ahead of the December polls
