The Northern regional chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Daniel
Bugri Naabu, has been attacked in his home by some youth purported to be
members of the NPP.
The incident occurred on the night of Monday December 19, 2016.
His aide, Shirad SK, who narrated the incident to Chief Jerry Forson,
host of Ghana Yensom, on Accra100.5FM on Tuesday December 20, alleged
that the attack was orchestrated by one Alhaji Aminu, who incited the
youth to undertake such an act.
According to him, Alhaji Aminu, who was conducting an interview for
recruitment of some youth into the security services, was questioned by
Mr Naabu on such act because the president-elect had no knowledge of
such action. But a furious Alhaji Aminu told the youth the regional
chairman did not want them to be employed, hence they should launch an
attack on him.
“It was around 11 o’clock when my boss called me that he was under
attack, but by the time I got there security officers had taken over the
residence. When I went to the house, I met party faithful including the
biggest financier in the Northern Region, Alhaji Diou Kadri. The youth
threatened to kill Bugri Naabu and tear him into pieces but all these
happened because they were misinformed and misled by one Alhaji Amin,”
he narrated.
“There was a press statement that circulated that Alhaji Aminu was
conducting interviews and giving appointments to the youth without the
notice of the president-elect, but the constitution of Ghana mandates
only the president-elect to appoint and disappoint anybody in any
particular position.
“Chairman Bugri Naabu met the man I am talking about and questioned him
on why he should be giving appointments, and the man went and told the
youth that they should come and attack Chairman Bugri Naabu.”
