The police have arrested some 11 people in relation to the incident though the details of those arrested are unknown for nowThere are rumors that some six persons who are believed to be loyalists of Mr. Afoko dressed in military attire, carried out the act.The men reportedly searched the offices after locking up the security guards, one of whom confirmed that he knew one of the men who invaded the office as a member of the NPP.

Kweku Baako, the Managing Editor of the New Crusading Guide, has urged security agencies in the country to launch thorough investigations into the dawn raid that occurred on Monday at the Headquarters of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP).

According to him, the NPP raid does not augur well for the security forces, particularly as Ghana heads towards the 2016 general elections.To him, the security agencies should not let the perpetrators of the NPP raid off the hook but rather work hard to redeem their integrity.Kweku Baako noted that the reputation of the Ghana Police and Ghana Armed Forces is on the line if they fail to get to the bottom of the incident and therefore they should do all in their power not let the perpetrators of the NPP raid off the hook but rather work hard to redeem their integrity.

In another development, the member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong has accused the suspended chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Paul Afoko for allowing his men to join forces with the ruling NDC governmenttoraidtheNPPheadquarters. He asserted Paul Afoko, after orchestrating the raid, intentionally released a statement to condemn the act in order to divert attention to another side to avoid being linked to the invasion and ransacking of the party Head Office.
