The Ghana Police Service has unveiled its plans to boost security at the residence of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) presidential candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo before and during the November 7 general election.
This package forms part of security arrangements being put in place to ensure the safety of the NPP leader and his household.
Public Relations Officer of the Ghana Police Service, Superintendent Cephas Arthur revealed this to Adom News Sunday.
This was after some persons alleged to be supporters of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) pelted stones and broken bottles into the house causing some damage.
Supporters undertaking a walk, allegedly veered off to Mr. Akufo-Addo’s Nima residence and tried to enter the house but met resistance from security men.
Police officers from the Nima police station which is a block away from the residence of the opposition politician intervened to ward off the attack.
