The police administration has entreated the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) to abandon its decision to retaliate attacks by New Patriotic Party (NPP) supporters on its members.
Police PRO, Superintendent Cephas Arthur in an interview on MultiTV Thursday said NDC members who attack persons who harm them would be infringing on the law.
Post-election reports in the media are replete with stories of attacks by some New Patriotic Party (NPP) supporters on NDC members.
NDC leadership has served warnings to the NPP to call its members to order.
At a news conference in Accra, NDC National Chairman, Kofi Portuphy said the attacks are becoming too many in the country.
He listed attacks on the Brazilian contractors and workers who are working on the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange and the killing of an NDC supporters in Dunkwa-on-Offin in the Central Region to stress his point.
The alleged attack on a popular actor, Wofa K. courted his attention although the story has been described as fictitious.
A visit by Joy News revealed the actor had staged it.

Now we understand why you have been aloof all this while. You are not condemning the attacks, you are rather concerned with the response. ***barred word*** group of people. That is why Nana addos security would continue to point guns at your heads. ***barred word***.
Ohh Police. So should we stand and watch if we are attacked for no wrong doing? Come again please. Dont I have the right to defend myself if am attacked without provocation from any ***barred word***?.Police Officer, go back for a refresher course.
Name: SHAMEFUL AND DANGEROUS THE OPERATION DIRECTOR OF GHANA POLICE CAME OUT TO STATE THAT POST ELECTION VIOLENCE IS NOW OVER OR UNDER CONTROL. I WAS EXPECTING PORTOPHY TO BEHAVE MATUURELY AND DIFFERENTLY FROM KOKU ANYIDOHO TO DELIVER PEACEFUL AND RECONCILING STATEMENT AND NOT TO REPEAT THE PROVOCATION OF KOKU ANYIDAHO. HIS FACE AND MANNERISM AT HIS PRESS CONFERENCE SHOW CLEARLY THAT HE IS NO QUALITIES OF A FRUITFUL LEADER. MAHAMA, NANA ADDO, WUNTUMI AND MANY LEADERS ACROSS DIFFERENT POLITICAL PARTIES ARE CALLING THEIR SUPPORTERS TO REFRAIN FROM ANY ACT THAT THREATENS THE PEACE WE ALL ENJOY. IT IS DISGRACEFUL AND SHAMEFUL FOR PORTOPHY TO DEPART FROM THIS TREND TO BE PROVOCATIVE AND INCITING. HE SHOULD APOLOGIZE TO THE NATION AND HIS OWN PARTY, FOR HIS ATTITUDE IS UNDESIRABLE.
Diversionary tactics by NDC top hierarchy to avoid attacks from their angry supporters and foot soldiers.They cant explain the humiliation Ghanaian voters dished out to them last week.No sitting President has been so humiliated at the polls since Ghana gained independence.Where are the babies with sharp teeths who insulted any Ghanaian who dared to complain about the economic hardship under Mahama
Police check your facts and come back. The law permits self defense when you life seems threatened. And that is what NDC is talking about.
Can't the police arrest Wofa K for insisting we the NDC youth to attack innocent people. My people we are loosing more grounds with these baseless propaganda.
