The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has shared concerns over vigilantes and hoodlums who could find themselves amongst security personnel to be deployed on election day.
In a statement, the party noted that it cannot take lightly information making the rounds that persons other than genuine Police officers will be clothed in the prescribed police uniforms as ordered by the IGP.
“This normal dressing requirement for all service personnel should be strictly enforced to assuage fears that some Police uniforms being sewn will find its way into the hands of vigilantes/hoodlums recruited by the ruling Party/government to intimidate and suppress voters in opposition strongholds,” the party demanded in a statement on Monday, November 23.
“Indeed, the NDC takes seriously information making the rounds that persons other than genuine Police officers some of whom were described as National Security operatives who committed acts of brigandage during the Ayawaso West Wogon bi-election last year will be clothed in such Police uniforms to avoid detection.”
