Accra-based Starr FM reports that the group stormed the NHIA office on Wednesday and chased out the Manager, Emmanuel Martey.
The vigilante group, which is affiliated to the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), went on to lock the offices.

Reports suggest that they unlocked the office on Thursday after a closed-door meeting with the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for the Area, Ebenezer Tetteh Kupoualor, but returned later to cause more havoc.
It is believed that the attack was triggered by some YiIo Krobo Constituency Executives and Supporters of the NPP, who want the embattled NHIA manager replaced by an indigene.
“We have qualified persons here in Yilo Krobo who fought hard for the party to come to power so why should we bring someone from Upper Manya to head NHIA,” one of the brains behind the invasion told Starr FM.
“We will not allow this to happen. They should establish NHIA office in Upper Manya for him, for us here he cannot work here.”

Meanwhile, the NHIA has suspended its operations for fear of the safety of its staff.
The incident has, however, been reported to the Police, although no arrests have been made yet.
