The General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) says his encounter with some armed men in Suhum in the Eastern Region has left him traumatized.
Johnson Asiedu Nketia told Evans Mensah on Joy FM’s Top Story Wednesday, he has not been able to report for work after the incident.
“I have been traumatized” but the “matter has been reported to the police,” he said.
The outspoken former lawmaker said he witnessed an attack on a motorist on his way to Accra from his village in the Brong Ahafo Region.
An account of the incident given by Mr Nketia revealed some armed men in a Toyota Tundra vehicle with registration number GT 666 12 sped past him around the Suhum Township.
He told Omanhene on Asempa FM’s Ekosi Sen Monday, the men got down from their vehicle brandishing AK47 rifle and went ahead to grab the driver in the vehicle they stopped.
Mr Nketia said it took his intervention and that of a soldier friend to rescue the driver.
But a statement by the NDC National Communications Officer, Solomon Nkansah blamed the attack on government.
Mr Nkansah said government’s attitude towards activities of militant groups is fueling the spate of attacks in the country.
Asked why the party is roping in government in the matter, Mr Nketia said he cannot be held responsible for the statement.
He said the statement was supposed to be a solidarity message, which did not need his permission.
The NDC General Secretary said his party functionaries are at liberty to interpret the situation the way they see fit because they have seen the some pictures from the encounter.
Mr Nketia also said he has provided the police with the necessary evidence to enable them conduct their investigation.
“It will be extremely miraculous for anyone to say that they don’t have information on the matter,” he said.

Hw3 no k.wasia. Asiedu you are very s.tupid and irresponsible man. Guard against loose talks.
Or forced to shut the phuck up for once in your life? If this is what it takes for you to know you smoothness level and to allow our ears to rest from your very st00pid statements that you've previously made with reckless abandon, THEN SO BE IT! 😒
Go and drink sea water...... concert man. These NDC guys know no shame when they are telling l.i.e.s... nation wreckers.
Thank God you are alive..... Your corrupt and evil NDC party have traumatized a lot of Ghanaians.... You have sent some to their graves too soon. Go and ask pensioners what they are going through.... trauma is very mild. By the way your story is an ananse story.......very difficult to believe.
yMr. General Scretary, I can tell you that, many people do not believe your story. I listened to your narration on Peace FM 6.00 o'clock evening news. The story was too good to be true. During President Kufour's time, you did the same thing but you could not substantiate. You just want to appear very important to please yourself and for political expediency. I hope the truth will actually come out after police investigations. Remember your friend Kumbour?
