The Greater Accra regional Police Commander says allegations that police looked on while the home of the Flagbearer of the New Patriotic party was being attacked will be investigated.
At the time he addressed the press, ACP Timothy Bonga said the police had no sufficient information to confirm the allegations.
There was chaos at the Nima residence of the NPP leader on Sunday morning after some participants of an NDC Health Walk allegedly pelted the house with stones and broken bottles.
The situation, escalated when the NDC supporters began defacing posters of Nana Akufo Addo, and the security men at the residence fired warning shots in the ensuing chaos.
According to them, it was the only way they could protect the property and lives of people in it the house because the police looked on while the items were pelted at the house.
But ACP Bonga said the police retreated after being denied access into the house and focused on controlling the crowd to normalize the situation.
The crowd, however, continued to mass up in front of the Flagbearer's residence.
"Some men in mufti began to attack vehicles plying the main road in front of the Nima Police Station but the police intervened," Joy News' Beatrice Adu reported.
ACP Timothy Bonga said the police will remain at the Nima residence of Nana Akufo-Addo until calm returns to the area.

Why must we allow party to divide us as a nation. What is "party" that people want to subject themselves to be control by it. Is party now bigger than you? People must know that they make the party and not making them. Please let's be discipline to the fact that no amount of money will influence us to do that which is not acceptable in the sight of God and man. Let's the police do their job professionally and come out with non interfering results. Those involve in the act must the law. We have seen people carrying guns that are not from the police, my question is who gave those guns to them ? Police do your job
I don't know if I will ever trust Ghana police, they lie, they cheat people, when you to them with a case, you are asked to go buy your pen to write your statement, if you are lucky to get a pen from them, you are going to pay indirectly. I pray you repent. how far is Nima police station from the NPP flag bearer's residence, yet you waited for their private security men to defend the people and property before you showed you wicked face. What is wrong with you Ghana police at all. No wonder the spokes person Supt. Cerphas Arthur was running away from a mob at old fadama and was still saying they are in-charge. Azaa ghana Police.
I dont trust Ghana police and i will never TRUST them.
