Pro-Afoko group issues 24-hour ultimatum to clear invisible force at NPP HQ

Loyalists of New Patriotic Party (NPP) chairman, Paul Afoko have petitioned the police to clear out some party security officers called Invisible Forces who have besieged the headquarters of the party.

The group says if the police are unable to take down the Invisible Forces in the next 24 hours they will to do so by themselves.

After weeks of a raging internal party crisis, the Invisible Forces vowed to keep the national chairman and General Secretary out of the office until investigations into the death of Upper East regional chairman is completed.

Adams Mahama died a day after he was attacked with acid by assailants said to be within the party.

On Thursday Afoko’s supporters say the Invisible Forces have no right of place in the party HQ and not have the right to bar elected national officers of the party from attending to official duties at the party office.

In a related development, there were some clashes at the NPP headquarters between the private security and some supporters of Paul Afoko.

Some three persons sustained injuries as a result of the clashes. A trotro driver had his bus damaged by the invisible force who threw stones to drive away the agitated group of about fifty pro-Afoko supporters.
