The Electoral Commission has shut its Suhum District office following an attack by some thugs on Thursday.
The attackers ransacked the office and took a printer away. The printer was reportedly sent to the residence of the Municipal Chief Executive.
They reportedly threatened to harm the EC officials if the names of some persons living outside the constituency were not transferred.
The EC officials told journalists that there have been continuous attacks on them and that they were afraid for their lives and cannot work without police protection.
“Yesterday they came to our office to carry our printer away and ransacked the office, they threatened to kill us and said they will remove our intestines,” one of the EC officials said.
Asked whether the attackers could be identified, the EC officials said they know them and that they were people from the Suhum township and that their leader was called Oduro. They named one other person as Musah.
They said they hope to start work from Monday with police protection.

Jack, u ***barred word***
Are you N0RMAL at all, What has Dr. Bawumia done to be accused of NDC and their Violence HO0LIGANS. Get a life and stop mentioning Dr. Bawumia's name in your use1ess comments.
Blame Bawumia for all these naansense. This dude went round and created the impression in this country that EC is not doing the right thing at all times. So let's face it. The next is going to be a civil war then we will all realize our ***barred word***. How can we be doing politics in such a myopic manner, just because some group of people want to in power by ALL MEANS. Can't we leave the EC alone to carry out its mandate for once?
NOTHING HAS HAPENNED YET, THOUGH THAT IS NOT MY WISH. I SAID LONG AGO THAT, THE SUPREME COURT HANDLING OF THE ELECTION PETITION WAS A CALL FOR DISASTER. BEAMING LIVE THE PROCEEDINGS, THE SUPREME COURT SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT IT WAS HANDLING A SOCIO-LEGAL CASE THAT NEEDED TACT AND SUPREME WISDOM TO TACKLE. BUT ATUGUBA AND HIS 4 OTHER COLLEAGUES WHO VOTED AGAINST THE PETITIONERS, REVEALED THEY WERE ONLY INTERESTED IN THE LAW AND NOT THE MORAL EFFECT ON THE SOCIETY.THEY SAW NOTHING WRONG WITH FALSIFICATION OF FIGURES WHICH WERE DESCRIBED AS 'MERE ERRORS',WE NEVER KNEW WHAT OVER-VOTING WAS, EC OFFICIALS WERE NOT PUNISHED FOR DELIBERATE MISINFORMATION ON PINK SHEETS, NOT AUTHENTICATING RESULTS ETC. I SAID THE RULING WAS AN ATTACK ON MORALITY, INTEGRITY, JUSTICE, TRUTH, NATIONALISM, PATRIOTISM ETC. HERE WE ARE TODAY. THE SUPREME COURT HAS ORDERED 'WAR' IN 29,000 POLLING STATIONS AND THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF THINGS TO COME.THE EVIL OF THE JUDGEMENT IS CONFIRMED BY THE ABYSMAL MANAGEMENT OF THE COUNTRY BY THE MAHAMA '***barred word***' GANG THE SUPREME COURT FOISTED ON THIS NATION'S CONSCIENCE. HEAR THE INSULTS BEING HURLED ON GHANAIANS BY PEOPLE IN GOVT BECAUSE OF THEIR UNDESERVED RULE: CORRUPTION, MISMANAGEMENT, OPEN AND FLAGRANT ABUSE OF THE STATE THROUGH SHARING OF MONIES AND FREBBIES, IMPUNITY OF FOOTSLDIERS AS EXPERIENCED ELSEWHERE AND CURRENTLY IN SUHUM.THE EC THOUGHT THE SC RULED IN THEIR FAVOUR IN 2013; BUT IT IS NOW CLEAR THAT THEY RULED FOR WAR FOR THE EC BECAUSE THE VERY PEOPLE WHO COMPROMISED THE EC TO COMMIT THE CRIMES THE SC UPHELD IN 2013 NOW FEAR THE SAME EC OFFICIALS COULD STILL BE COMPROMISED HENCE THE ATTRITION. I CRY FOR MY BELOVED COUNTRY.WHAT CRIME HAVE WE COMMITTED AGAINST THE SUPREME COURT AND THE NDC? OR WAS ATUGUBA HONOURING THE CALL BY MAHAMA THAT SINCE HE IS A NORTHERNER ALL NORTHERNERS MUST SUPPORT HIM? IF THIS BODES TRUE, HOW DOES ATUGUBA FEEL TODAY? DOES HE FEEL ABSOLVED BY HIS DECISION OR REGRETS IT?
I am sure we do not have BNI in Ghana now. Someone should tell me if these guys were from NPP or any other party like PPP, CPP or PNC, what would have happened. Asiedu Nketah, Koku Anyidohu, Kofi Adams and the rest would be jumping for their arrest and the Police and BNI would be heard. Now silence because the button had not been pressed.
THIS EC CLOSURE OF THEIR OFFICES CAN BE USED AGAINST YOU O NPP.REMEMBER EC CHARLOTTE HAS SENT HER CHILDREN TO USA,MOREOVER MAHAMA HAS TOLD THE UN THEY CANT IMPOSE DEMOCRACY ON US,LOOK AT HOW MAHAMA HAS BEEN DRESSING LIKE IDDI AMIN THESE DAYS.THESE ARE THE SIGNS THAT MAHAMA AND HIS SECRET LOVE BIRD ARE BENT ON DOING SOMETHING FISHY.
NDC IS HARASSING AND TORMENTING GHANAIANS TOO MUCH.SO IDDI AMIN MAHAMA AND HIS ARMED ROBBERS CANT SIT DOWN AND THINK THAT WHETHER WIN OR LOOSE GHANA IS NOT ONLY FOR THEM??
Lame country.
ALL THESE THUGGERY AND LAWLESSNESS ARE PART OF MAHAMA'S SECRET AGENDA TO INTIMIDATE AND PREVENT VOTERS IN OPPOSITION STRONGHOLDS FROM EXERCISING THEIR ELECTORAL MANDATE. THE EARLIER NANA ADDO AND OTHER OPPOSITION LEADERS SUMMON OR PUT JOHN MAHAMA AND HIS GOONS ON NOTICE THE BETTER....
