President John Dramani Mahama has directed the security agencies to deploy across the country and arrest any person caught vandalising government property or attacking innocent people.
A statement signed by the Minister of Communications, Dr Edward Omane Boamah, said the directive followed attacks on supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and government installations by some supporters of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
President Mahama, according to the statement, was disappointed in the NPP leadership for failing to bring their supporters to order.
"President John Dramani Mahama expressed disappointment at the inability or unwillingness of the leadership of the New Patriotic Party to call its rampaging supporters to order, following series of attacks on innocent citizens and supporters of the ruling National Democratic Congress.
"Some supporters of the NPP have also attacked government installations across the country," the statement said.

they should also arrest those who have stolen government houses, cars, monies and properties, from ghana people
Oh now the outgoing prez has the courage to condemn acts of hooliganism from members of the opposition party. Do you ever reprimand your supporters and appointees when they go wayward? Etua wo yonko ho etua dua mu. I'm not condoning what is alledged to have happened but hipocrisy is killing us as a people.
@Hassan, Tamale. I couldn't have said it any better. A clear case of hypocrisy and double standards from the president. He turned a blind eye to many destructive behaviours from his own party. But now, he's crying wolf! Oh pls. That is not to say lives and properties shouldn't be protected.
Good directive. If the President had been as firm as he is now when NDC footsoldiers were destroying government properties over Ministerial and DCE appointments, lessons would have been learnt by all.
