New Patriotic Party [NPP] Member of Parliament [MP] for Effiduase-Asokore constituency, Dr Nana Ayew Afriyie is alleged to have assaulted his District Chief Executive, Mary Boatemaa Marfo in what appears to be a misunderstanding between the two.

According to eyewitness report, the incident happened ahead of President Akufo-Addo’s visit to Effiduase in the Sekyere East District Friday, October 11.

Witnesses told DailyMailGh that a heated verbal exchange over which buses to convey party members to the durbar grounds ahead of the President’s visit resulted in the quarrel.

“He [Dr Nana Ayew Afriyie] slapped her [Mary Boatemaa Marfo] in the face, pushed her on the ground as the Constituency Chairman and other executives looked on,” a witness narrated to DailymailGH.

Meanwhile, the DCE is reported to have made a complaint about the incidence to the Effiduase District Police Command for investigations.

It is gathered that party executives in the region will meet both of them to resolve the matter.
