According to Peace FM Ashanti Regional correspondent, Samson K. Nyamekye, " . . party officers including Johnson Asiedu Nketia (General Secretary), Ofosu-Ampofo (National Chairman) and Afrifa Yamoah Ponkoh, took to their heels when gunshots were fired . . . disrupting the meeting".
Reacting to this in an interview on Asempa FM, Asiedu Nketia said: “we are not going to shield any criminal in the NDC. Anybody in connection with this crime whether a parrot or eagle or hawks, the law must take its course.”
The meeting between the National Executives of the party turned bloody when an unidentified gunmen from rival factions, stormed the premises of the venue and fired into the gathering.

this is a setup ...look at how the police quickly put out names and attached the criminals to the NDC hawks, its so clear the crime was orchestrated by the government..look we are not kids, we can read in-between the lines,
You were trying to blame the security but has failed, trying to push insecurity but by the grace of God it has backfired....
Faisal Alhassan( Ghana strongest) Name has been mentioned in the Kumasi shootings , police in Kumasi should quickly arrest him
The ball you throw at the wall bounces back to you. Your Boot for boot is coming back to haunt you and I was disappointed the shooter could not get General Mosquito and Ofosu Ampofo so that they know how it feels to lie in the hospital with a gun shot wound.
This is possibly the handiwork of Wuntumi and the NPP to get equalization.External investigators should be brought in for thorough and neutral investigations. Knowing the modus- operandi of the Busia Dankwa history and tradition of sabotage, no evil is impossible for them in their desperate effort to cling on to power or when seeking it. NDC, watch yourselves oo.
