Details are emerging about how the Nima residence of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flag bearer, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, was reportedly attacked by supporters of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) on Sunday.
DAILY GUIDE has learned about how some police officers inexplicably stood unconcerned while NDC goons attempted to storm the house and in the process started attacking the property with stones and bottles amid wild insults.
The provocative action by the NDC supporters has received worldwide condemnation, with both the United States and United Kingdom governments expressing their disgust at the upsurge of violence as Ghana prepares to go into general election on December 7, and even threatened sanctions against politicians who are inciting violence, including possible visa embargo and revocation.
Vivid Narration
A source has said early Sunday morning, one of the private security personnel at Nana Akufo-Addo’s house upon discovering an unusual occurrence on the security camera, proceeded outside only to see a crowd of NDC supporters hurling stones and bottles into the house.
“As the bottle and stone throwing continued, a policeman, one of the many standing by, told one of the two bodyguards undertone to go and tell the commander of the Nima police who was observing the attack, to do something about what was happening,” the source claimed.
According to the source, when the security man told the police officer, he allegedly did not utter a word and only sneered at him while the goons continued to attack the property.
“He asked the police officer to get them to leave immediately by insisting that Nana Akufo-Addo’s wife, Rebecca, was returning from church and wanted to get into the house but the officer could not be bothered,” the source said.
He said the bodyguard recognized one of the NDC supporters as an Alajo resident and asked him why they were throwing stones into the house.
He said it turned out that pockets of the NDC guys were firing warning shots.
“Some of them were armed with pistols. The bottles and stones were in the vehicles which brought some of them. Harry Zakour turned up and told us to stop firing the warning shots else his people would follow suit,” according to the source.
Regarding the allegation by Superintendent Cephas Arthur that one of the security chaps in Nana Akufo-Addo’s house pulled a weapon on the Commander of the Counter Terrorism Unit, one of the security men said, “Mr. Cephas Arthur only came to the crime scene in the afternoon, many hours after the siege. The said officer was not in uniform and had asked us to stop firing but we told him to get the attackers too to stop. He said if we did not he would ask his people to fire. Cephas’ narration was incorrect.”
Premeditated Attack
The NPP has said utterances and actions of the NDC as a party showed clearly that the attack on Nana Akufo-Addo’s residence was premeditated.
Nana was in the Brong-Ahafo Region campaigning towards the December 7 polls at the time of the incident.

I feel very sad when I see these youth been used. if these guys have nothing to do, they can go to their regions and engage in farming which will be in their benefit than following these leaders who will only abandon them as soon as they gain from them. Unfortunately, they are soo little minded that, they cannot even think for themselves. God help them to reason a little.

You go to someone's house to create a violent confusion and you forget that self-defense is the first law of human survival? Indeed, if an intruder enters someone's house, the law of self-defense protects the owner, if the intruder is shot from the front side. Brebie aama aa, anka amanie aama! NDC did this and they cannot escape!
Liars
Mr Prez your mistakes sound like a deliberate once to punish the electorates by increase and invade more taxes so now you have clearly expose how you are that indeed you can not take any decision you are ruing the nation just like the survive of the fitters who can survive your hardship can live, Mr Prez the voices of the people is the voices of God, if I understood the Constitution clearly it didn't say you only have four years that means if you do not win the 2016 election you another chance to contest other elections so stop forcing for the seat which is not yours. Ghana need peaces so be it. God bless Ghana A Change is coming!!!
This man has overstayed his welcome! Off to Lebanon you go where you will be known as a NOBODY! I remember after Fadi Davoussi wrote an article on mahama and ndc goons descended on him that he wasn't even from here and he has no right even putting his mouth into Ghanaian affairs. I reminded them that Yammin and Zakkour do same. One Zongo girl chipped back: Zakkour has never misbehaved before. I responded mentioning that MuntieFm belongs to him. Total silence and blackout after that. Thank you president mahama, the most ***barred word*** and incompetent one in the history of ghanas democracy, for unleashing ako Gunn and harry Zakkour on the Ghanaian ppopulace. You must go! In fact, you're going: bye byeeeeeeeeee a la Gabriel! 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾😏
The best way to ascertain the truth about what happened is to watch the CCTV footage installed all over Akufo Addo's residence.
...So you can determine possible blind spots and use it to your advantage? God is Alive...Ghana is for Ghanaian. If Ex President Kuffour had behaved this way, where would President Mahama be by now?
