Police in Ashanti Region have intensified surveillance of communities following reported cases of post-election violence in the Region.

Activities of supporters of both the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) and New Patriotic Party (NPP) are being monitored especially in Ejura by the police.

Joy New's Ohemeng Tawiah reports that since NPP's Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo was declared winner of last Wednesday's presidential election, there have been pockets of attacks on some NDC members.

A 30-year-old man by name Emmanuel Kwame had his fingers severed in a confrontation with an NPP youth over confusion involving the billboard of incumbent President John Mahama.

His attacker who was identified as Nadari Hassin absconded to a nearby town.

There were also reports that NPP supporters were seizing government properties which are in the hands of NDC members. Some revenue collection points were also seized by NPP loyalists in the Region.

Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of Ejura Municipal Assembly, Alhaji  Mohammed Bawa is unhappy with the treatment meted to NDC members in the area.

He described the attacks as widespread to the extent that some school feeding children in Sekyeredumasi were attacked by "known NPP guys." They overturned food which had been served on tables for the children, he said.

Alhaji Bawa entreated NPP officials to call their members to order.

But Samuel Saka who is an NPP Constituency Chairman described as rumours claim that party sympathizers have seized some revenue collection points in the Region.

"It is not true that an NPP supporter attacked an NDC member," he said, adding "there is peace in Ejura because when I speak even NDC boys listen."

Meanwhile, the Ejura district police command says the situation is under control as security patrol is intensified in the area.
