The Ghana Police Service has launched a hunt for persons suspected to have attacked the National Democratic Congress’ office in Tamale.

The vandalism occurred on August 23, when some youth who perpetrated the act also destroyed some property.

Their action is in protest of a decision to let one of the party’s Vice Chairmen, Ali Adolf act as Regional Chairman.

The police assured, "the public that all the perpetrators will be brought to face justice."

In a Facebook post on Wednesday, they insisted that the populace chooses amicable means of getting their concerns addressed "rather than resorting to violence."
