The youth wing of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has locked up the Savannah Regional Office of the Youth Employment Agency (YEA) in Damongo.
This action followed reports of alleged attempts to evacuate items from the office on the night of President John Dramani Mahama’s swearing-in.
Abdallah Amidu, a member of the NDC, told Channel One News that they received information about the removal of items and immediately intervened.
“We ordered the youth to halt the evacuation and subsequently reported the matter to the police,” Amidu said.
The situation has raised concerns among residents, with calls for a thorough investigation to determine the motives behind the alleged evacuation attempt.
“On the day of the inauguration of John Mahama, some of our people called us in the thick of the night around 1 AM and reported that some of the members of the NPP had come to the YEA office with motors and vehicles and were packing tailoring machines, hairdryers alongside tools and equipment meant for Masons.
“We reported the case to the police. They came around and advised both parties to look at the place till the new government settled. The fact is, the NDC was trying to protect the state properties.”
Raphael Akati Mahama, Regional Director of Youth Employment Agency confirmed the action to Channel One News.
He confirmed that his office was locked by NDC Youth,
He further refuted claims by the youth saying that there was an evacuation of items from the office.
“All that they said is false and I was out of town when I had information of some youth came to my office to lock up the place,” Akati reiterated.
