Thugs threaten NDC deputy general secretary over prepaid meter

Some thugs on Monday allegedly threatened the deputy general secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Barbara Serwaa Asamoah for installing a prepaid meter in her office.

Clad in red and fuming with rage, the irate youth entered the third floor office of the deputy general secretary and removed a prepaid meter.

A statement issued by the general secretary of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah in reaction to the development condemned the action, adding that those found culpable will be dealt with according to the law.

“In the early hours of yesterday, Monday 31 October 2022, a group of persons managed to gain entry into the national headquarters of the National Democratic Congress at Adabraka in Accra.

“Upon entering, the said group, clad in red and fuming with rage, entered the 3rd floor office of the Deputy General Secretary, Hon. Barbara Serwaa Asamoah, and removed a prepaid meter. Soon thereafter, the spokesman of the group, addressed the crowd that accompanied him and threatened to deal with the Deputy General Secretary for allegedly installing a prepaid meter in her office,” the statement said.

“The Leadership of the NDC wish to condemn in no uncertain terms this blatant act of thuggery and criminality and will take immediate steps to involve the law enforcement agencies to deal with the miscreants and their sponsors,” the statement added.
