Alhaji Mohammed Frimpong, Flagbearer of the National Democratic Party (NDP), has clarified that the recent attack on his team by armed men was a result of increasing armed robbery in the area, rather than a targeted assault.
The attack took place on November 26, 2024, between Nsakaw and Wenchi in the Bono Region. Thanks to the quick response of a police patrol, none of Frimpong’s team members were injured.
In an interview with Citi News, Alhaji Frimpong expressed confidence that the police would catch the culprits and ensure justice is served.
“We have not had any feedback, but what we know is that there was a previous robbery around the same municipality on Monday, November 25. Ours followed on November 26, then there was another one on November 27.
“So, it appears as if there is some kind of resurgence in armed robbery in the area. We did discuss this with the Regional Commander and we are yet to receive any feedback. I thought it was a direct attack on me, but I later discarded that. We just had the misfortune of entering into their (robbers) barricade,” he stated.
