The flagbearer of the National Democratic Party (NDP), Alhaji Mohammed Frimpong, and his campaign team were reportedly attacked by armed men in the Bono Region.

The incident occurred late Tuesday, November 26, around 11 p.m., as they were traveling between Nsakaw and Wenchi after a campaign tour in Namasa, within the Tain Constituency.

According to the Bono Regional Chairman of the NDP, Evans Ofori, the team was ambushed by a group of armed masked men who fired indiscriminately at them, causing minor injuries to some members.

Recounting the ordeal, Mr. Ofori said, “We were on our way to Wenchi from Namasa. As we approached Wenchi, the policeman with us noticed a barrier and advised us to slow down. We assumed it was a police barrier since we had seen one at the same spot earlier in the day. However, armed masked men suddenly emerged and began firing at us. We had to reverse quickly. Our vehicle’s windows were shattered, causing minor cuts, but thankfully, no one sustained serious injuries.”

“Shortly after the attack, a police patrol team arrived and escorted us to Wenchi, where we filed a report at the police station. I must commend the police officer who was with us for his professionalism in ensuring our safety. Our flagbearer and all team members are safe,” he added.
