Addressing a press conference in Accra on Monday, December 12, Sidi Abubakar, NDC National Youth Organiser said “The attacks on our supporters...should nothing continue to be done by the president-elect, Nana Akufo-Addo, and the NPP leadership to immediately put a stop to the unprovoked and uncivilised physical attacks on our supporters, we the NDC youth will not fold our arms while our people are attacked violently. We shall henceforth reply in equal measure whenever we are attacked by NPP supporters. A tooth for a tooth, an arm for an arm.”
The police had earlier warned the NPP supporters that they will be arrested and prosecuted if found engaging in such activities.

The NPP had subsequently in a strongly worded statement condemned the violent attacks of political opponents by its supporters.
But reports indicate that some NDC members are still being attacked. Some NPP supporters on Monday morning seized and took over the tollbooths in Tema and allowed cars free passage. Police, however, arrived at the scene to maintain calm.
But the NDC Youth believes that “At this point, we the leadership cannot guarantee that our people will continue to stand by without defending themselves”.
He said that “the NDC is able and very capable of causing lots of chaos and confusion if the NPP continues to attack our members. We are also calling on the Ghanaian media that also supported the rigging of the elections to openly condemn what the NPP thugs are doing.”
