Voters’ Registration: I Was Nearly Shot By Soldiers – Bono NDC’s Reg. Sec.
NDC’s Bono Regional Secretary, Dennis Yeboah Twumasi says he was threatened by military personnel stationed at Banda in the Bono Region during a confrontation over their refusal to allow some residents to participate in the ongoing voters’ registration exercise.
He told NEAT FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’ that the presence of the armed military men was “intimidating” and “inhuman”.
“I was nearly shot by the soldiers,” he claimed – after alleging that “I know someone deployed the solders here for a special assignment.”
This follows a viral video of NDC’s Chief Scribe, Johnson Asiedu Nketia seen angrily exchanging words with the soldiers who had blocked the road in Banda to stop busloads of people from accessing registration centres.
It is unclear where the people were being bused from but they were stopped by some armed military men.
Dennis Yeboah Twumasi who was at the scene has described as “inappropriate” the use of military personnel to intimidate some legitimate Ghanaians from registering on the basis that they’re foreigners being bused from border towns into Ghana.
