Asiedu Nketia warns security officers against taking lives of electorates

National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has issued a stern warning to senior security officers who will succumb to the demands of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) and issue orders aimed at taking the lives of citizens during the December 7 elections.

According to him, the next NDC government will not spare such individuals whose aim is to help the NPP to subvert the will of the electorates, who he claims have decided to vote them out.

His outburst, he says follows the killing of some eight persons who protested the bad conduct of the Electoral Commission in the 2020 election.

Mr Asiedu Nketia issued the warning at Amanase in the Ayensuano constituency as part of his campaign tour of the Eastern region.

“On the day of reckoning, the government that encouraged to open fire on the people would have left power and left you alone to face the consequences. Police and military commanders who give orders to open fire on the people, you will not go scot-free, because crime has no expiry date,” he warned.

He threatened the next NDC government has all the facts and records about the security officers who participated in the killing of the eight people in 2020 and vowed to deal with them.

“Today, some of them have benefited from that act and have been promoted as ministers and still threatening to repeat what they did in the last elections. Tell them they are joking, everything you do, know that first fool is not a fool,” he stated.
