He said that he got a call early in the morning regarding a dispute about seating arrangements at the registration centre. Ato Koomson, my brother and close friend, arrived here before me.
He called me and said that we should come quickly because the misunderstanding is becoming worse. He added that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) sought to sabotage the proceedings, as explained by Ato Koomson.
Mr. Addo said that Mr. Koomson was stabbed during the altercation despite efforts to keep the peace. We’re going to see this matter through to the very end and make sure that, in the end, everyone involved does what is right.
Thus, we are pleading with the police to act quickly to guarantee that justice is properly carried out,” he continued. While in police custody, the suspects are cooperating with investigations.
