Some NPP members cleaning the human excreta
The new constituency office of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) at Asante Akim North in the Ashanti Region, which was supposed to be commissioned on Sunday afternoon, was shit-bombed some hours before the start of the programme.
Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the NPP presidential candidate, who was bringing down the curtains of his five-day campaign tour of the region on Sunday, was supposed to cut the tape to commission the office.
But even before the NPP leader got to Agogo – where the office is located – disheartening news of the new party office being painted with human excreta, started to spread like wildfire Sunday morning.
Some unscrupulous people, suspected to be opponents of the NPP, reportedly stormed the facility and painted the front view of the office – which had already been painted in the NPP colours of red, white and blue – with feaces.
Kofi Asare, an eyewitness, told DAILY GUIDE that the perpetrators of the act carried out their mission around 2am, when the entire area was quiet, adding that no arrest had been made so far.
According to him, in connection with the grand opening of the party office, there were several merry-making programmes in the town Saturday evening, which ended after 12 midnight before the people went to bed.
He said the people were therefore shocked to see the entire entrance of the new party office painted with human excreta, which emitted bad odour.
Mr Asare said the NPP members, who were bent on seeing their new office officially opened, defied the bad odour and washed the human excreta with soap and water Sunday morning to enable the inauguration to take place.
