The National Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, popularly known as Nana B, has accused the Ghana Police Service of hypocrisy and selective justice in its handling of political cases.
In a post on his Facebook page on Tuesday, September 8, Nana B expressed concern over what he described as the police’s failure to act on a complaint lodged by the NPP regarding alleged death threats made by Chief Sofo Azorka and Alhaji Abdul Wahab during the Akwatia by-election.
According to him, the threats targeted the NPP’s Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, Chief Whip, Annor Dompreh, and himself.
“Almost a week has passed, yet the Ghana Police Service has failed to take any action,” Nana B stated.
He contrasted the alleged inaction with the swift arrest and prosecution of the party’s Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye, within 48 hours, over what he described as “misdemeanours.”
He argued that while the police had the resources to pursue Abronye and deny him adequate legal representation, those accused of committing “felonies” remained free.
The NPP National Organizer further warned that the party has, on several occasions, cautioned against what it views as selective justice and bias against its members. He called on the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) to rise to the occasion and ensure fairness.
“For the sake of the security of this country, the IGP must step up, and the Ghana Police must not allow itself to be used as an extension of the NDC’s unwholesome political machinations,” he stated.
Nana B added that in the coming days, the NPP would resist what he described as “wanton selective justice, open bias, and unfair application of the law,” stressing that Ghana’s democracy must be protected.
