NDC goons burning car tyres in Mampong
ANGRY NATIONAL Democratic Congress (NDC) youth infamously embarked on a destruction spree in Asante Mampong, in the Ashanti Region, last Thursday.
According to reports, the irate youth were not pleased with plans to appoint one Esther Dwomoh as the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), hence their violent acts.
They allegedly saw her appointment as an imposition by the Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr. Frank Amoakohene and some other Ashanti Regional NDC executives.
Singing war songs to display their fury, the youth reportedly, burnt car tyres in some selected busy roads in Mampong, thereby impeding the movement of vehicles and people.
After burning the tyres, the angry NDC youth then turned their anger at the NDC party office in Mampong, where they reportedly destroyed everything on sight.
The charged youth were said to have brought the furniture, documents and other items in the office outside and set it ablaze, amid chants that they were ready to spill blood.
An eyewitness in Mampong, who demanded anonymity for obvious reasons, disclosed to the paper that the NDC youth started a peaceful march over Esther’s appointment on Thursday.
According to him, in the course of what seemed to be a peace march, some of the charged youth started to burn car tyres in the streets, leading to people running for their safety.
He said the destruction spree was then directed at the NDC party office, adding that it took the intervention of the police before law and order was eventually restored in the area.
