Alhaji Mohammed Frimpong, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Party (NDP), and his team were attacked by armed men in the Bono Region on Tuesday, November 26, around 11 p.m.

The incident occurred while they were traveling between Nsakaw and Wenchi, returning from a campaign tour in Namasa, located within the Tain Constituency.
The team was ambushed by a group of masked men who fired indiscriminately at them. Members of the team sustained minor injuries during the attack.

Evans Ofori, the Bono Regional Chairman of the NDP, confirmed the ambush, describing how the armed men attacked the team without warning.

“We were on our way to Wenchi from Namasa, getting close to Wenchi, the policeman who was with us saw a barrier and told us to slow down, we thought it was a police barrier because when we were passing there in the morning, there was a police barrier there.
“We saw armed men in masks who started firing at us and we had to reverse, our screens were hit and got damaged, and fortunately, no one got seriously injured apart from the cuts from the glasses.”
Mr. Ofori added “When the incident happened, within a short time the police patrol were around, and they escorted us to Wenchi, where we wrote our statement at the police station.
“I must commend the police officer who was with us, he acted professionally to save our lives. Our flagbearer and the team are all safe. ”
