Youth for leadership, a non-governmental organisation in the Central Region on Thursday, condemned the reported “inhuman treatment meted out to the body guards of Professor Evans Atta Mills”, the NDC flagbearer during the Oguaa Fetu Afahye last Saturday.
The NGO has therefore called for an unqualified apology from the office of the President.
In a letter, lodging a formal complaint with the Commission on Human Right and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) for investigations into the matter, Mr John Arthur, Deputy Organizer of the NGO said the act contravenes article 15 clauses 1 and 2 of the Constitution.
He described as “barbaric and degrading” the ill treatment meted out to the security guards of Professor Mills, by President Kufuor’s security details, making one of them to fall into a comma.
He also expressed his concern over why Professor Mills, the flagbearer of the largest opposition party and former Vice President of Ghana should be given such treatment.
Mr Arthur said the victims did not do anything wrong to warrant such a dehumanizing torture and appealed to CHRAJ to undertake a full scale investigations into the matter
It would be recalled that last Saturday, the President’s personal security, reportedly tried to prevent a bodyguard of Professor Mills from accompanying him to a dais to exchange pleasantries with President Kufuor and other dignitaries at a durbar to climax the Oguaa Fetu Afahye at the Jubilee Park also known as Victoria Park.
This resulted into a scuffle between the two security details during which Prof. Mills’ security men claimed they were subjected to beatings resulting in one of them being hospitalized.
