The arrest is said to have been made by the anti-robbery unit of the Ghana Police Service.at the registration centre after an SOS call.
Some of the items retrieved from these bandits included live ammunitions, cutlasses and other weapons.
The individuals, identified as pro-NPP hoodlums, who were had reportedly pitched camp at the voter registration center terrorizing people, targeted the NDC MP after they were confronted.
National Communication Officer of the NDC, Sammy Gyamfi, who took to X (formerly Twitter), to raise concern about the incident, alleged some senior NPP officials were scheming to have the arrested party freed before cautioning that the NDC will keep a keen eye on the matter.
“The thugs were arrested while they were publicly smoking marijuana behind the district court near the voters’ registration centre,” the post added.
He described the arrested party as “armed bandits” adding that there were in possession of “live ammunitions, cutlasses and other weapons.”

READ SAMMY GYAMFI’S FULL POST BELOW:
Earlier this morning, about twenty (20) armed bandits belonging to the ruling NPP were arrested at the registration centre in the Okaikoi North Constituency by the anti-robbery unit of the Ghana Police Service.
Some of the items retrieved from these bandits included live ammunitions, cutlasses and other weapons.
The thugs were arrested while they were publicly smoking marijuana behind the district court near the voters’ registration centre.
Yesterday, these same NPP bandits attacked the office of the sitting MP, Hon. Theresa Awuni and inflicted serious injuries on some innocent voter registrants.
Sources from the Police regional command have hinted us that some senior NPP officials are at the Police Station trying to secure bail for these hoodlums.
Some of the men arrested are on the police wanted list for offences ranging from robbery to murder.
Why has the Police Service not issued a statement on this incident like they did in the case of Hon. Collins Dauda?
Is somebody planning to coverup this serious issue?
Well, we are watching keenly to see how this issue will be handled.
