The Northern Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Daniel Bugri Naabu has been cautioned and granted a police enquiry bail.
This was after he reported to the police on Saturday morning on an invitation on grounds of causing fear and panic.
Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), Mr Ebenezer Tetteh in charge of Public Relations at the Northern Regional Police Command told Graphic Online that Mr Naabu was granted bail after his statement had taken.
He said he was questioned in relation to an inflammatory statement he made at the party’s rally at Savelugu last Saturday and that he is to report to the police periodically.
Mr Naabu at the rally told party supporters that the NPP would deploy well built men (Macho men) to every single polling station in the Northern Region to police ballot boxes on Election Day to prevent them from being snatched by supporters of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC).
He went further to state that NPP supporters should chase and smash the head of any NDC supporter who would snatch a ballot box on Election Day.
The statement by Mr Naabu drew a lot of criticism and condemnation from Civil Society groups, some security analysts and the NDC who called on the police to invite the NPP Northern Regional Chiar for questioning.

I still don't understand Ghana police if crime for one side but the other its nothing to them. yooo when the thing changes don't feel intimidated.
Well done Mr. Bugri Naabo. If they invite you a million times go. In a nation where all structures of governance and general operation have been compromised only men of integrity like you become our hope. If a whole Supreme Court refuses to do its work on merit as they did with the Election Petition (a la Atubuga), The Electoral commission has made it clear that it has taken sides with the NDC as they did in 2012 and the police have demonstrated that they cannot protect the people of Ghana, what else can we do? Protecting the ballot box is our only hope, and if one is criminalised by indicating this then God save our dear land. Take heart Mr. Naabu, no condition is permanent. Their end is near. Long live Nana, long live NPP and long live our homeland Ghana
what if npp member is got snatching ballot box? an elderly person like you instead of preaching and educating people to stay away from bad things you an elderly person like you rather citing violence. May be your own son or daughter could be the victim of ballot boxe snatching and we would see if him or her head would be spare smashing.
This what you see from a government that is on its way to opposition. Using the state security to terrorize the opposition! The CHANGE will come on Dec. 07, 2016
The police should better begin arresting all Ghanaians becos what Bugri Naabu said was nothing. If the police think in the mist of this economic hardship and high unemployment where a graduate like me can't find job then they better come again. We want to see armed macho men protecting the ballot box to prevent NDC from rigging the election again. Ghana police are good for nothing, what they do best is correcting bribes. The youth of Ghana are ready to fight to redeem Ghana from the Massive Corruption that have overwhelm Ghana under this INCOMPETENT MAHAMA administration. God help Ghana.
Go and arrest bugri naabu yourself if you have balls
WHAT HAS BECOME OF THOSE WHO CUT OFF THE FINGER OF AN NPP MEMBER, WHERE WERE THE POLICE, THE PEACE COUNCIL AMONG OTHERS.
That is all ndc know,power to intimidate but for power to rule a nation to let the people feel comfortable is zero on their table,that is the act of fo*ls. They thought they will be in government forever and now their own president has accepted his ndc appointees and members have have disappointed him after blaming some media as cabal,his anger is now on his own people the tsunami that is overtaking them is unbelievable so burga ay3 mmre,he has to suspend his failed campaign and rest while the so called Oldman who drinks Kalypo is still strong and going about his business. Something under the sun that is difficult to understand is dealing with fo*ls,Ghanaians have regretted voting for idi*ts for them to transform and change their lives instead of transforming the lives of the people and they come out after their belly fo*l to tell Ghanaians we are transforming Ghana and changing lives,you see the cry of a fo*l? Countrymen and women vote them out and resist them with your lives because of your future,they have nothing to offer our country they just can't think far.
