The opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has written to the Inspector General of Police (IGP) John Kudalor demanding the outcome of investigations into a dawn raid at its headquarters last year.

On November 23, 2015, a group of armed persons in military uniform raided the headquarters and the Kokomlemle offices of the main opposition party and allegedly carted some items in sacks from the offices including weapons during their operations.

Eleven people were arrested for their alleged involvement in the unlawful night raid, which saw the invaders overpower the “Invisible Forces” security men at the party office and had them locked up and their phones taken from them.

In a letter dated May 30, 2016 to the IGP, the acting general secretary of the NPP John Boadu said: “We will like to know the extent of work done on the criminal aspect of the raid.”

“Our lawyer in-charge of the case inform us that, the attitude of the Police in finding lasting solution to this matter has been lukewarm,” the letter sighted by Starrfmonline.com added.

“We are as per this letter asking for the status of the said incident for prompt decision and action.”

Below is the full letter:
