16 persons declared wanted for violent disturbances at NDC Congress

Some 16 persons have been declared wanted following the violent clashes that characterised the opposition NDC’s Youth and Women Congress held at Cape Coast on Saturday. 

The police, in a statement, said while proceedings were ongoing at the congress, two rival groups violently clashed, throwing stones, blocks, sticks, clubs, and chairs, among others, causing injury to three persons and destruction to property.

Fortunately, the intervention of the police brought the situation under control for the processes to continue to the end without any further incidents.

But after an initial review of police-specific video footage of the event, “16 suspects have so far been identified as some of the people involved in the violence and have been declared wanted”.

A GH₵10,000.00 reward has been set aside for any member of the public who provides credible information to the police that can lead to the arrest of any of the suspects.

The photographs of the 16 wanted persons extracted from the police specific-footages have been attached to the statement for easy identification.

An investigation is still ongoing to further identify and arrest other perpetrators involved in the violence to face justice.
