The Deputy Minister for Women and Children Affairs, Hajia Gariba Boya has accused the Minister for Communication, Haruna Iddrisu of masterminding the attack on her by a woman known as Mma Kande. Hajia Gariba Boya was allegedly attacked by Mma Kande, who is an NDC member on Sunday evening in Tamale when the Deputy Minister went to the salon to fix hair in preparation for the arrival of President John Mahama on Monday. Mma Kande reportedly pounced on the Deputy Minister, pushed her down and tore her clothes. The hairdresser for Hajia Gariba Boya who is five months pregnant was also pushed down during the incident. Narrating the incident to Citi News, the Deputy Women and Children�s Affairs Minister said: �it is Haruna Iddrisu who mobilized them to come and attack me and I don�t know for what. Haruna has been doing that every time, he organizes people to beat people when he doesn�t agree with you on anything.� She further alleged that �he wants to have control over so many constituencies and I am not hurt that I lost the primaries, but it is paining him. He mobilized the people to come and attack me and I know all of them, they are his boys and he was there himself. He was there. He came with the boys� �The woman just came to the salon, held my dress and tore it and I didn�t have a security man with me. But one of the boys I was moving with held the woman and pushed her so she hit her face on the ground.� She said. Hajia Gariba Boya also claimed that �John Jinapor did the same thing to me and I reported it to the Chief of Staff but he has not taken any action and now Haruna Iddrisu has also done it to me again. The day Jinapor did that to me, I was without a body guard and today that they saw me without a body guard, they have attacked me.� "It is John Jinapor and the President is aware of what his spokesperson did. I have told the Regional Minister of what just happened and i have told them to tell the President and i have reported to the Police too." She added.
