Loyalists of New Patriotic Party (NPP) chairman, Paul Afoko have petitioned the police to clear out some party security officers called Invisible Forces who have besieged the headquarters of the party.
The group says if the police are unable to take down the Invisible Forces in the next 24 hours they will to do so by themselves.
After weeks of a raging internal party crisis, the Invisible Forces vowed to keep the national chairman and General Secretary out of the office until investigations into the death of Upper East regional chairman is completed.
Adams Mahama died a day after he was attacked with acid by assailants said to be within the party.
On Thursday Afoko’s supporters say the Invisible Forces have no right of place in the party HQ and do not have the right to bar elected national officers of the party from attending to official duties at the party office.
In a related development, there were some clashes at the NPP headquarters between the private security and some supporters of Paul Afoko.
Some three persons sustained injuries as a result of the clashes. A trotro driver had his bus damaged by the invisible force who threw stones to drive away the agitated group of about fifty pro-Afoko supporters.
Meanwhile the police say they have no power to force people out of their own premises.
Superintendent Cephas Arthur who is with the Police Public Relations department told Joy News the police deal with complaints about crimes and not drive people out of premises.
He was quick to add however that if there is fear of danger or violence the police will ensure that is prevented.
According to him, through the vigilance of the police there were no serious injuries during the clashes at the party's HQ on Thursday.
"The police took action and warded them off," he indicated.
He promised the police will do their best to ensure that nothing nasty happens tomorrow.
