Tight security at KMA, RCC

The Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly, situated at Adum in the Central Business District (CBD) of the boisterous Kumasi, has beefed up security at their premises.

Armed security agents, drawn from both the police and the military, have been stationed at the assembly building since the December 7 presidential election was declared.

Interestingly, the Ashanti Regional Security Council (RCC) has made similar security arrangements at their premises as they have also stationed armed police in their place.

The paper learnt that a series of unprovoked attacks at state institutions by National Democratic Congress (NDC) supporters has compelled the KMA and RCC to secure their place.

“This is a precautionary measure that both the Ashanti RCC and the KMA have taken with immediate effect to help prevent NDC hoodlums from unjustifiably attacking them.

“Since former President John Mahama of the NDC was declared as winner of the presidential elections, NDC goons have been attacking state institutions on a daily basis.

“Definitely, both the KMA and the RCC will be a target of the NDC goons, hence the precautionary measures to stop such attacks”, a staff of KMA, who demanded anonymity, said.

Meanwhile, the Tamale Station at Alabar in Kumasi was reportedly seized by NDC hoodlums, who claimed their party is in power so they should manage the station, on Wednesday 11, 2024.

Head of the NDC Taskforce, Hassan Nara, who seized the station, told journalists that, “we were managing the station but when the NDC lost power in 2016, NPP members chased us away.

“Today, the NDC is back in power so we have told the NPP members to leave quietly to their various houses. We will return the management of the station to them anytime the NPP wins power”.
