Information reaching diamondfmonline.com indicated that, the Northern Regional Police Command have arrested one person in connection with the attack on the Northern Regional National Democratic Congress (NDC) party office.
The suspect identified as ‘Opanka’, were suspected to be part of the angry youth who raided the party office and chased out staff, destroyed party properties and fired gun shots indiscriminately.
The incident occurred on Tuesday August 23, 2022.
The action by the youth follows the nomination of Adolf Ali as the acting Northern Regional Chairman of NDC after the demise of Naa Alhaji Abdulai Ibrahim Mobila.
The Northern Regional Secretary of NDC, Mohammed Abdul Salam in an interview with Diamond FM said the nomination was done in accordance with relevant provisions of the party’s constitution.
“The decision was taken after the Functional Executive Committee met on Wednesday August 18, 2022 in line with articles 52 and 53 of the constitution. Adolf is expected to superintend over the affairs of the largest opposition party in the region until when the NDC goes to elect new Regional Executives”, he added.
However, supporters of Alhaji Rufai Velim have since rubbished the decision describing it as null and void.
“We will not allow anyone to destroy our party in the region. We will not allow any ordinary person to be our chairman, unless Chairman Veilim”, they said.
