The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has scheduled an emergency National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting Tuesday to discuss issues of security across the country.
Joy News has gathered the NDC General Secretary Johnson Asiedu Nketia's alleged encounter with armed men in Suhum in the Eastern Region is one of the issues on the agenda.
The NDC General Secretary has said he witnessed the attack on a motorist by some armed men on his way to Accra from his village in the Brong Ahafo Region.
Narrating the incident to Omanhene on Asempa FM’s Ekosi Sen Monday, former lawmaker said the men who were in a Toyota Tundra vehicle with registration number GT 666 12 sped past him to stop a vehicle that was ahead of him just around the Suhum Township.
They got down from their vehicle brandishing AK47 rifle and grabbed the driver in the vehicle.
Mr Nketia said he then got out of his vehicle together with a friend to intervene and rescue the driver.
I had a friend army officer who was with me in the car so he got down first and identified himself and asked them what was their problem, he said.
I am not sure whether they are armed robbers because nobody made any attempt to rob me of my hard earned money or other valuables, he told the presenter.
Mr Nketia's experience in Suhum comes months after government put in place measures to stem the tide of attacks across the country after the 2016 general elections.
The NDC's emergency National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting will afford the party an opportunity to discuss the incident and how to avoid same in the future.
NDC National Organiser, Kofi Adams told Evans Mensah on Joy FM’s Newsnite the incident is a stark reminder to all Ghanaians that nobody is safe in the country of their birth.
“It started with an invasion of some of our homes, to courts and churches and now some political opponents are being attacked,” he lamented about past attacks.

Then you have a lot of press conferences to do o. I heard mosquito stole monies from Bui Dam so add it to your agenda on Tuesday's press conference.
Eiiiiiiiii!!!!!! Akoa wei boa! What sort of lie is this? Why do you want to occupy media scape with lies? Nothing happened to this liar,,,,,, attention seeker,,,, and you didn't report to the police?
Hahahahahaahahahahahahahahahah so now this is your style. please be careful of whatever you sow today for you will reap tomorrow.
It was during NDCs regime that an MP was killed in cold blood, in his own HOUSE not even during a robbery. It was during NDCs regime musician Kwaw Kese's manager (Fennec Okyere) was murdered in cold blood....and these NDC stalwarts lead by Portuphy never assembled or rang the bell for an emergency meeting. I think they are rather going to discuss how they'll support themselves whiles in Nsawam Prisons. Corrupt people.
And who cares about your emergency meeting? You are a bunch of armed robbers yourselves (NDC). This is purely ***barred word*** thiefs theifman.
Dear People, Now NDC is using the same media they accused previously to report all robberies and armed attacks in Ghana through the media, then proceed to say Ghana is not safe under NPP government? Wow and interesting to read such. I will not try to compare or mention any 1 armed attacks and violent event that did happen under NDC, but I think every reader knows that. By the way, it is very good to draw the attention of the security agencies in the country to be extra alert for the good of all citizens. People such happen in all countries in the world but the rate is what sometimes makes it alarming. Governance is not magic and these happenings attribute to the previous government's poor handling of security by just putting up their unqualified members as Army officers and Police Officers. God Save Ghana Kwame
