Mustapha Alhassan, the Manhyia South constituency organizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ashanti Region, is expected to report to the police headquarters today.

This follows the police declaring him wanted after a viral video showed him issuing threats of electoral violence.

The regional executives of the NDC have expressed their dissatisfaction with the summons and have stated their intention to accompany Mustapha Alhassan to the police station with a legal team to provide him with the necessary representation.

Dr. Frank Amoakohene, the NDC's Ashanti regional secretary, stated in an interview on Eyewitness News on Citi FM that the party is well-prepared for any challenges at the police headquarters.

He also mentioned that they are prepared to seek the arrest of the NPP official who was on the show with Mustapha Alhassan if necessary.

“We are going with our lawyers, and we are ready for whatever legal tussle. If we need to file a counter-complaint for them to arrest the NPP official, we will do the same, and if we need to perform a citizen’s arrest and bring the NPP official to the police, we will do that.”

“Even if the audio is out there without an edit, the person is still innocent until proven otherwise by a court of competent jurisdiction saying otherwise, and so we cannot be prejudicial in this matter,” he told host of Eyewitness News, Umaru Sanda Amadu.

He also added that Mustapha Alhassan was a victim of misreporting, as he was simply responding to his co-panelist and had no intention of threatening harm to anyone.

“From our investigations and checks, the officer was only serving notice to the NPP official that anybody who rigs the 2024 elections is only preparing a platform for blablabla… and so it was a response to the NPP official, and we can’t be prejudicial condemning someone without hearing him out.”
