The National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Northern Region questions the police account of how one party supporter may have shot another during the parliamentary candidate’s victory celebration in Savelugu.
The party said police should target people like a PNP sympathizer who was named Gabby for allegedly shooting at the police station.
At a news conference in Tamale, the NDC’s northern regional secretary, Mohammed Abdul Salam, said the party believes it is a plot to hang a murder charge on the elected deputy.
It was asked why the police would search the premises without the owners and a warrant if the police had no bad motives.
Salam also found it questionable that he was quick to conclude that the office belongs to the elected deputy when it was rather owned by the NDC.
“Our elected deputy does not have an office, if there were any registered on our tables, computers and other things without our presence and a court order that the office belongs to the electoral district of NDC Savelugu and not to the PC,” he said.
In addition, he told the media that “it does not make sense for anyone to think that someone who is part of the jubilant people of the same party will shoot himself.”
The party’s northern regional secretary also accused the ruling New Patriotic Party (PNP) of being behind the shooting that killed the 14-year-old girl in Savelugu at the NDC office.
He said the NDC has so far cooperated with the police.
On the back of this, they were surprised that a police press conference indicated that the weapons were found in the office of the elected MP.
Salem said the Savelugu MP-elect is a man of integrity whose 27 years of service as a public servant has no criminal record, adding that any attempt to damage his reputation because of his victory will not be washed away.
