Irate supporters of failed aspirant for the Tamale Central constituency of the National Democratic Congress Alhaji Ibrahim Seidu have hit the streets of Tamale in protest over what they say is unfair dismissal of the engineer at the  Ministry of Roads and Highways.

The supporters vandalised bill boards belonging to the incumbent MP Inusah Fuseini and set fire to some paraphernalia and billboards belonging to him.

Tamale Police had to intervene to prevent the situation from escalating.

According to the Tamale Police Commander DCOP Ken Yeboah, he had information this afternoon that some angry supporters of the NDC had gone on a destruction spree because they alleged one of the candidates who contested the Tamale Central constituency in the just ended NDC primary, Alhaji Ibrahim Seidu had been sacked from his job at the Ministry.

DCOP Yeboah said checks by his outfit indicate Alhaji Seidu is still at post and has not been dismissed.

He said attempts to arrest the rampaging youth failed because they escaped immediately they saw the police vehicles come in.

He added however that they have gotten some names and would continue with investigations and hopefully make arrests sooner than later.
