Police in Dunkwa-on-Offin in the Upper Denkyira East District of the Central Region have remanded herbal medicine seller, Alhassan Azamati, over the death of an NDC supporter.
The Police say the deceased, Ayuba Akakpo, a head porter, was allegedly struck on the head with a stick by Alhssan Azamati, a known NPP supporter, during a heated verbal exchange after the official declaration of Nana Akufo-Addo as the winner of last Wednesday’s presidential poll.
After the incident, Alhasan turned himself in and led police to the scene of a scuffle that led to the death of Ayuba.
Before police got to the scene, Ayuba had already been rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
The Upper Denkyira East District Police Commander, Superintendant Dela Dzansi, told Joy News the exchange between the two friends started as a joke until tempers flared.
“It was a result of politics, who wins who lose, it was a kind of joking and joking and it turned into a quarrel between the two of them,” he said.
He said contrary to earlier reporters that NPP revellers celebrating the December 7 elections victory of the opposition party, the NDC supporter’s death was the result of a friendly exchange that turned sour.
Alhasan Azamati will be remanded in police custody until direction on the next course of action from the Attorney General’s office, said Superintendant Dzansi.

ITS NOT THEIR FAULT. THEY SHOULD THANK GOD THAT NDC MEMBERS HAS CHANGED. AND THANK PRES MAHAMA FOR ACCEPTING DEFEAT. WHEN NANA REFUSED TO ACCEPT DEFEAT DID U SEE ANY NDC MEMBER IN TOWN CELEBRATION? IT WANT ONLY NPP MEMBERS WHO TOOK OVER THE COUNTRY.IN ALL I WILL SAY WE THANK GOD FOR GIVING US THE LATE PRES MILLS AND PRES MAHAMA AS OUR LEADER. BUT AM STILL WAITING FOR THE DOG WHO WILL EVEN THINK OF ATTACHING ME. AS FOR ME I WILL NOT LET IT GO.
PROSECUTE HIM! THEY ARE DOING THESE TO SUPPORT NDC'S PROPAGANDA THAT NANA IS VIOLENT. NANA ADDO BELIEVES IN THE RULE OF LAW. LET GHANA POLICE AND CEPHAS AURTHUR STOP THE NDC PROPAGANDA AND WORK PROFESSIONALLY. ARREST ANY LAW BREAKER AND PROSECUTE THEM. ARREST THEM!
The police as a state institution is too weak,bias when they are carrying their constitutional mandate and it is something that must be corrected by every government. NDC from 2008 failed to correct it when most NPP gurus were attacked, their cars were pounded Nana Addo was a victim. NPP correct their mistakes and let them be effective.
HMMMMMM NPP FOR U.
Too bad,NPP supporters must be very careful. They won't rule forever.
