Some NDC supporters who were demanding for the release of deputy general secretary Koku Anyidoho have sustained severe injuries after the Police fired rubber bullets to disperse supporters of the National Democratic Congress who had massed up at the Police Headquarters.
The supporters of the NDC besieged the Police headquarters Tuesday afternoon after Anyidoho was arrested for claiming that there will be a civil coup to overthrow the presidency of Akufo-Addo.
His declaration followed the ratification of the military agreement between the government of Ghana and that of the United States by Parliament Friday March 23 despite huge public protest and stark warnings from security analysts that approval of the deal will open Ghana to terrorist attacks.
Speaking in an interview with Happy FM Monday the former presidential spokesperson stated that series of activities to unsettle the Akufo-Addo government will take off on Wednesday, March 28, 2018 with a planned nationwide demonstration.
“On the January 13, 1972 a certain Col. Ignatius Kutu Acheampong led a movement that removed the Progress Party from power. Busia was the Prime Minister and Akufo-Addo’s father was a ceremonial president. Somebody should tell Nana Akufo-Addo that history has a very interesting way of repeating itself,” the NDC firebrand said.
“There’ll be a civilian coup d’etat; there’ll be a social revolution and the movement is starting on Wednesday. He [Akufo-Addo] will be fed up at the Presidency,” he added.
Mr. Anyidoho was picked up at the International Press Centre Tuesday afternoon when the NDC was preparing to have a press conference over the US military deal.
Shortly after his arrest, supporters of the party and NDC big wigs stormed the police premises to demand his release.
The supporters blocked the main road preventing free flow of traffic. Several attempts by the police to restrain the supporters proved futile.
The Police decided to use rubber bullets and water tankers in an attempt to disperse the supporters.
Starr News reports that a lady who was not part of the demonstrators and was on her way home from work was hit by a rubber bullet and had to be rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.

NDC should remember that there are Police Officers who want an eye for an eye to repay them for the maltreatment and eye plucking of an NPP demonstrator since the government has changed. It may not be the official incitement from the NPP Party hierarchy. But I know for a fact that the Ghana Police today is so politicized and polarized because of what the NDC did to them and their relatives when they were in power. So they should get ready for real police brutalization.
To the cowardly ***barred word*** who calls himself 'against',remember in as much as there are elements like your sort in the NDC who are determined to make this country ungovernable there are also people who are determined that Nana Addo will be president for 4 years , fulfil his promises to the people and continue to build this country.If you think hitting the streets and causing mayhem is what will bring the kleptomaniac back to power ,forget it because it will not happen.
Be wise going onto the street will not solve the problem. Abyway it's your own life but remember you may end up a "senseless " Hero
