Some youths reportedly affiliated with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) allegedly attacked and injured several assembly members in the Effutu municipality of the Central Region.
The incident occurred on Monday during an attempt by the group to take over a public toilet facility and demand the keys.
William De-Carthia, assemblyman for the Ndaamba Electoral Area, confirmed the attack in an interview with Adom News.
He recounted that over 40 youths, riding in branded NDC pickups, motorbikes, and taxis, stormed all 18 electoral areas within the municipality wielding cutlasses and other weapons.
“They claimed their party was in power and had instructed them to take control of the toilet facility,” he said.
Mr. De-Carthia added that this was not the first such incident, noting a similar attack weeks earlier where several people were brutally assaulted. He revealed that he himself was slashed in the back with a cutlass.
Some residents have expressed concern over the rising tensions and have urged authorities to intervene to prevent further escalation.
