Reports reaching adomonline.com say a large group of cutlass wielding youngmen wearing the campaign t-shirts of NDC candidate for Odododiodio, Nii Lantey Vanderpuye have attacked petty traders at UTC and Agbogbloshie, all parts of the business district in Accra.
Petty trading in these areas is dominated by Akan speaking persons who traditionally vote for the NPP.
A trader who spoke to Adom News said the young men carried away the wares of the traders and anybody who resisted was slapped with the broad side of the cutlass.
Security experts who spoke to Adomonline.com said if the report was true, it was a sign of an escalation of the rising tensions between supporters of the two leading parties, which could have dire consequences for Ghana.
