Tension is brewing in the Bekwai Constituency in the Ashanti
Region as faceless youth deface billboards belonging to independent
parliamentary candidate and lawyer Amofa Agyemang.
It is unclear
when that happened but Lawyer Amofa’s campaign team accuses incumbent Member of
Parliament (MP) Joseph Osei-Owusu of masterminding the act.
Lawyer Amofa Agyemang, who confirmed the incident to Kofi Asante
Ennin on Akoma FM‘s morning show Ghana Akoma on Tuesday, November
24, said he has since reported the matter to the police for further action.
“We feel
intimidated here because my billboard has been destroyed by unknown people.
This is very bad. How can such impunity dent our democratic governance?”
Lawyer Amofa
also confirmed that the police have begun investigations into the incident.
“Although we
haven’t been able to figure out perpetrators, we have given every information
to the police.”
Bekwai
Constituency is one of the constituencies to be highly contested in the
upcoming December parliamentary polls.
It is part of the over 600 flashpoints identified by the
Ghana Police Service.
