According to GhanaWeb, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, the Minority Chief Whip in Parliament, has revealed that he received threats from unidentified individuals who intended to set his house in Nsawam on fire.
The Member of Parliament for Nsawam-Adoagyiri expressed concern over the threats, stating that he was unfamiliar with the individuals involved, which placed him in a vulnerable position that demanded urgent action.
He mentioned that it was the intervention of friends and notable figures that helped to thwart the attackers’ plans and ensure the safety of his home.
“If we had not defended ourselves, my home would have been burnt down. They threatened to burn the only house I have in Nsawam. It took the intervention of well-wishers and Good Samaritans to prevent it,” he said during an interview with Bola Ray on Starr Chat.
Annoh-Dompreh criticized President John Dramani Mahama for not condemning the violent actions attributed to individuals believed to be associated with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) following the 2024 general elections.
He emphasized that the president needs to take a stand and demonstrate leadership in addressing these issues.
He expressed belief that the silence from authorities is encouraging lawlessness among party supporters.
Reports indicate that certain individuals linked to the NDC have been involved in violent acts against state institutions, including setting offices ablaze and vandalizing the properties of former officials from the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
While President Mahama has occasionally denounced such actions, he has also urged those responsible to cease their activities or face legal consequences if apprehended.
