The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Chairman for Asante Akyem North Constituency, Mr. Sampson Agyei has run to the District Police Commander in Agogo for cover following the curses invoked on him, the Member of Parliament (MP) and other constituency executives by a polling station chairman, Kassim Awudu for suspending him.

Kassim went to a dread river god, Bomfum popularly known as Inspector to invoke curses on the party executives for using him for all the dirty works during the 2016 general elections but failed to secure him a job as promised by the Member of Parliament, Hon. Andy Appiah-Kubi.

He was subsequently suspended for meeting his colleague polling station executives to campaign against the MP who had reneged on his promises.

Mr. Sampson Agyei was heard on Adom FM contradicting himself saying Kassim is not an executive member of the Party but later accepted Kassim worked assiduously for the party in the 2016 elections and was made a polling station executive but denied knowledge of his suspension.

Mr. Sampson Agyei further stated the curses will not hold because it doesn’t have grounds.

MyNewsGh.com sources however confirmed that the Chairman after bragging on radio that the curses will have no effect on him, secretly went to the District Police Commander in Agogo to lodge a complaint against Kassim Awudu over the same curses he downplayed.

According to sources at the District Police Headquarters, the worried chairman wants the intervention of the security agencies to force Kassim reverse the curses.

The latest move seems to confirm the concerns raised by Kassim before invoking the curses against the Chairman, MP and the constituency executives.
