Hon. Kwaku Ofori Asiama, Minister for Transport, has reportedly been attacked by a group of armed individuals believed to be supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
According to sources, the assailants, numbering over 20, arrived at the Minister’s official residence, brandishing weapons, and issued a series of threats. They warned the Minister’s domestic staff to vacate the premises by the following day or face dire consequences.
The group also threatened to harm the Minister’s domestic animals and any other individuals found at the residence.
This incident follows a disturbing pattern of behaviour from certain groups of NDC supporters who have been accused of unlawfully entering state institutions and government agencies. Notably, similar tactics were used at the Metro Mass Transit Limited premises, where operations were disrupted shortly after the NDC’s electoral victory.
The Ministry of Transport is urging the police and the relevant security agencies to increase security at the Ministers official residence to protect the family and their properties.
