The Regional Secretariat of NPP is  therefore calling on the IGP to take serious action in this \u201cAction  year\u201d without fear or favour.\u201d<br \/>\nHe threatened that the party will  embark on a massive demonstration in the Tamale metropolis if the IGP  fails to apprehend the perpetrators seeing that nobody is above the law.<br \/>\nDr.  Clifford Braimah questioned the morality behind the arrest and  detention of NPP youth activists  in Tamale, Gushegu and Yendi over what  he referred to as \u201cbaseless and unsubstantiated allegations\u201d whereas  NDC foot soldiers according to him commit serious crimes in broad day  light and get away with it.<br \/>\nThe NPP northern regional secretary  further called on President John Evans Atta Mills to command security  operatives in Ghana to sanction NDC foot soldiers whose activities are  endangering national security.<br \/>\n\u201cThe activities of the NDC foot  soldiers have the potential of dragging Ghana into a state of  insecurity.  In the Northern Region, the foot soldiers started with the  violent removal from office of the Scheme Manager of National Health  Insurance for Central Gonja District, this was followed by attacks on  NPP supporters with the burning and destruction of houses and other  properties in<br \/>\nthe Tamale Metropolis, unfortunately leading to the  arrest of only NPP supporters, five of whom have been in prison remand  since February 2009,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Northern Regional Secretariat of the New Patriotic Party on Monday January 17, 2011 gave the Inspector General of Police, Paul Tawiah Quaye a 48 hour ultimatum to arrest persons believed to be NDC foot soldiers who allegedly wounded a policeman during their obstruction of an exercise which was embarked upon to clamp down on [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-274349","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
