The head office of Ghana National Gas Company Limited in Accra, the gas aggregator of the Republic of Ghana came, under siege by thugs suspected to be members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) whose flag-bearer was declared winner of the 2024 General Elections held on Saturday, 7th December.
The incident prompted a significant security response, with both soldiers and police officers deployed to the scene to maintain order.
Accra-based Citinewsroom.com reported that the thugs attempted to forcefully enter the GNGCL premises, leading to a confrontation with security personnel.
In an effort to disperse the gathering and restore calm, warning shots were fired by the security forces.
Two soldiers who were called in to calm the situation were beaten mercilessly.
Insiders told this portal that the thugs came in different batches and had different mission.
Since Monday, 9th December, 2024, when the country’s electoral management body, (Electoral Commission) declared Mr. John Dramani Mahama, flag bearer of NDC as a winner of the General Elections, supporters of his party have attacked a number of public places.
In some instances, they ransacked the offices.
This portal understands that some of the supporters, on motorbikes, went to the Tema Oil Refinery at about 10 pm on claims that they were there to protect the facility.
