Police Director of Communications, Superintendent Cephas Arthur, had told Accra-based Kasapa FM that "One of the Security guards of the opposition leader pointed a gun at the Commander of the Counter Terrorism Unit of the Ghana Police Service, fired a warning shot and pointed the gun back at the officer. The Police team attempted to unleash a defensive attack but the Commander ordered them to restrain the attacks and were very professional yesterday."

He said, "“Imagine a civilian pointing a gun at the Police; you have called for everything possible, but the Police were very professional. If it were to be the army whose orientation about weapon is a different thing altogether you can imagine what would have happened."

But in a response, the Greater Accra regional chairman of the NPP, Ishmael Ashitey, insisted that Nana Addo’s bodyguards are not allowed to carry guns in the course of duty.

“...Where did that person get the gun from? I will find out but I know Nana Addo’s security guards do not use guns. But even in the house, there are policemen…so I do not know if those cops will look on and allow others to fire gunshots,” he told AccraFM.

The two parties clashed on Sunday in front of Nana Akufo-Addo’s Nima residence when the NDC were having a health walk.

It is, however, unclear what triggered the clashes but according to reports, both sides confirmed gunshots and hurling of harmful objects.

The NPP’s acting General Secretary, John Boadu at a press conference hours after the incident accused the NDC of attacking their supporters with guns, knives and other harmful objects.

The NDC has since denied the claims saying it was the personal security of Nana Addo who first fired multiple shots at the NDC members.

Meanwhile, political parties have been asked to immediately suspend all political activities in the metropolis following recent clashes between the governing National Democratic Congress and the opposition New Patriotic Party.

The Accra Metropolitan Security Committee (METSEC), which gave the directive, said this has become necessary to ensure peace in the country ahead of the December 7 polls.
