And this is just a purported action to divert the attention of Ghanaians from the hardship that is going on in the [country], because it takes two to tango, and it takes two to have a conversation. It was a conversation between an NDC person and an NPP person. They managed to get the video out which has the NPP person\u2019s comment edited out of the video, and then now you declare an officer wanted without having to resort to the institution to produce the officer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo if you know you can find the person, then you should publish the person\u2019s name without associating him with the NDC but if you want to associate him with the NDC then you should come to the regional leadership that we have come across a video from an officer of the party and the police would want to have a conversation with him. Then the regional leadership can produce the officer for you. But you have attached the NDC to the officer, you didn\u2019t come to the regional leadership and yet declared him wanted on social media. But from my understanding, you only declare someone wanted when the person cannot be found or the person has gone into hiding. This is an officer that you in the police you know, and he is a tailor to most of the policemen, and it is not as though he is even a stranger or somebody you don\u2019t know,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><strong><em>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU:\u00a0https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The leadership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ashanti Region has criticized the police\u2019s decision to declare Alhaji Mustapha Alhasan, its Manhyia South Constituency Organiser, wanted.
