A journalist with Saboba-based Radio Gaakii Matias Acop, has been attacked in a street rampage allegedly involving a vigilante group - Azorka Boys - loyal to the Northern Regional chairman of the NDC, Chief Sofo Azorka.
Acop said he was attacked and beaten at a location near Saboba market when he went to witness a clash between supporters of the National Democratic Congress and Mr Joseph Amuzu the party's First Vice chairman in the region who resigned to contest as an Independent candidate.
The regional chairman, according to reports, was in the constituency capital to chair a meeting between the leadership of the NDC party and some disgruntled members when his boys allegedly spun out of control and violently attacked supporters of the Independent candidate.
Reason for the clash remained unclear but the journalist claims the District Chief Executive Adolf Ali who physical engaged in the brawl ordered the Azorka Boys to attack him claiming he filmed the violence.
"It was the DCE Adolf Ali of Saboba ordering people to beat people, so he spotted me and told his boys that beat him and they rushed towards me before I realised I was unconscious", Matias narrated.
He said his mobile phones and other gadgets including a tape recorder were seized and crushed in the attack.
The DCE has, however, denied the claim and before he dropped the line on Starr News, he said: “They can keep on accusing me, I didn't go out for campaign today I only went out when Azorka and co came from the field and I took them to the community centre to take supper.”
The Saboba constituency has remained a flashpoint of political divisions after Mr. Amuzuh dumped the NDC executive position to run as an independent candidate.
He had said elsewhere that the NDC now see him as a credible threat and therefore has initiate vicious measures to discredit him and intimidate his supporters.

WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE, AMEN.
NDC supporters are violent and their leaders are disrespecful, koku anyidoho, asiedu and kofi adams talks as if they owe the country and they will be attacking NPP will all sort of things instead of focusing on how well they can let their people stop the violent behaviour. Madina MP (sorogho) will send his bouys at night and they will park their pick up and climb poles to remove NPP flags, i saw them days ago around the action school at 9am doing such a disgraceful act and yet they will tell us they are not violent, BOniface will win this time and that is what some NDC folks like Nii lantey vander cant stand the shame coming so they decide to act and the police wont say anything but yet if it was the opposition the person would have been in their custody within hours....Ghana police stop selling ur conscience to fake politics and act fast
God will let our enemies bow before us just as the NDC has started showing the world how they are, now they should tell us it was NPP boys who attacked the journalist, where are the blind NDC supporters who always support the evil of their leaders, the unified party turned the violent party so now is NPP not fat better than this evil party....You will go back to opposition then u act this way again. CHANGE IS ALL WE NEED AND IT IS COMING LIKE THE COMING OF CHRIST
Let them do it for their time is up. I tell you a year by today these ***barred word*** wouldn't be in power and their dogs wouldn't be on the streets of our country. Every crime is punishable in our country and crime has no expiry date. Thank God they've exposed their party and president to the international world and They've Seen NDC As Not A Political Party But an Extremists Organisation Which Must Be stopped before It Metamorphosis into Boko Haram. Thank God the supper powers are watching them very well and i tell ndc they will lose this elections because of their extremism, the international community have warned you they don't back any political party but democracy so any organisation that doesn't believe in democracy will be off their sight and democracy has no way for extremists like the ndc. I can't think how the u.s.a and the UK will sit down unconcerned for the ndc to rig this election,ndc will GO by hook or crook.Primitive organisation.
