Hot SourceThe National Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Salam Mustapha, has raised concerns over what he describes as a plot by opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) “thugs” to disguise themselves as police officers during Tuesday’s polls.
In a statement addressed to the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mustapha alleged that individuals from the Ashanti and Greater Accra Regions were planning to wear police uniforms and masks to evade identification and carry out unlawful activities on election day.
“We hear that some NDC thugs from the Ashanti and Greater Accra Regions want to wear police uniforms on Tuesday and mask up to prevent identification for some nefarious operations,” he stated.
He further claimed that the plan was to distract security personnel, with some of the alleged impostors carrying thumbprinted ballot papers.
The NPP youth leader urged the police administration to ensure that no officers are deployed in masks on election day and that all personnel wear visible name tags for proper identification.
“We bring this to your attention and that you direct your officers to be on top of their brief and not allow any miscreants to drag the name of the police service into disrepute,” Mustapha said.
He also called on the police to act firmly to protect their reputation and not allow the alleged plan to succeed.
According to him, the NPP has activated Project Firewalls, which he described as a monitoring mechanism keeping a close watch on developments ahead of the elections.
