Thirteen members of the NPP in the Subin Constituency of Ashanti, have been arraigned before Court in connection with the locking up of the Party’s office two weeks ago. Although 14 of them were to appear before the Asokwa District Court, one of them could not be served and so was not in Court.
The accused persons, who alleged some infractions in the polling station elections recently held by the Party, locked up the Party’s constituency office in protest. They were invited by the Criminal Investigations Department of the Ashanti Regional Police Command and subsequently arraigned before Court.
They were charged with conspiracy and offensive conduct. The Court presided over by AkuaAduBoahen granted a GHC15,000 bail each with two sureties to the accused persons. Head of Legal and Prosecution Unit at the Ashanti Regional Police Command, Chief Superintendent Kofi Blagodzi expressed concern about how some party members take the law into their hands without ”following laid down procedures to address their concerns”.
