A tense standoff is unfolding at the Aviance Cargo section of the Kotoka International Airport, as a group of hoodlums allegedly affiliated with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have surrounded a facility, threatening to break in and make off with gold bars.
Eyewitnesses report that the group, which appears to be well-organized and determined, has been intimidating bystanders, warning them not to take videos or pictures of the scene.
The atmosphere is increasingly volatile, with concerns growing that the situation could escalate into violence.
However, the Ghana Police Service has been alerted to the situation, and it is imperative that they act swiftly to restore order and prevent any potential harm to persons or property.
Details of the incident are still emerging, but it is clear that the hoodlums are attempting to take advantage of the post-election period to engage in lawless behavior.
The NDC has been accused of orchestrating similar incidents in the past, and the party’s leadership must take swift action to condemn and dissociate themselves from such acts.
The Aviance Cargo facility is a critical hub for the import and export of goods, including precious metals like gold.
