President John Mahama has blamed the police for Sunday’s clashes between supporters of the NPP and NDC.

“Only last Saturday we almost had a clash which was unfortunate, if any of those firearms had been fired and someone had dropped dead it would have been a completely different story. I think we should be preventive enough in our actions to prevent such things. ...I think that the police at Nima should have been better briefed knowing that this group was passing through and then we should have taken appropriate safeguards to ensure that such a thing doesn’t happen,” Mr Mahama said when he met some labour unions at the Flagstaff House.
