I believe in justice and for that matter rule of law that is why I am for NANA, justice must prevail, Npp should show the ndc that we are literate enough and above this behavior if is Tue.I know this happened in 2008 where ndc chased npp supporters into the ***barred word*** and the president Atta Mills ,rip. Said the ndc supporters are tired so they should be allowed and it will stop soon, I also don't believe this Cephas Rather an ndc man in police uniforms.
I couldn't agree with you more. They should be arrested. Period! Cephas Arthur do your job or the so called supporters look like those you encountered at Sodom and Gomorrah? Running for cover again, I believe. Lol
i don't believe a thing of what this cephas arthur is saying. he should give one instance of such harassment. it is part of a greater ndc propaganda to put npp in a bad light. the ndc are bitter losers and the npp must come out with a statement immediately and also remove this cephas arthur from his current position as matter of urgency
NPP, PLEASE STOP THIS NDC/Supt. Cephas Arthur BEFORE HE ALLOW NDC DO THEIR USUAL PROPAGANDA. NDC WILL DO THIS TO PUT NANA ADDO AND NPP IN BAD LIGHT JUST TO JUSTIFY THEIR CLAIM THAT HE IS VIOLENT. PLEASE STOP HIM! ISSUE A STATEMENT TO THE EFFECT THAT NANA DOES NOT SUPPORT ANY VIOLENT ACT AND THAT CRIME IS CRIME WITHOUT PARTY COLORS. SHAMEFUL POLICE!
LET Supt. Cephas Arthur, Police PRO GO AND ARREST ANYONE WHO FLAUNTS THE LAW. I SUSPECT NDC IS BEHIND THIS TO JUSTIFY THEIR CLAIM THAT NANA ADDO IS VIOLENT. NO WAY. LET NPP LEADERS ASK FOR THE ARREST IF CRIMINALS. CRIMINALS ARE CRIMINALS AND THERE IS NO PART HERE. Supt. Cephas Arthur, DO YOUR WORK YOU ARE PAID TO DO. SHAMEFUL MAN!
