NPP’s Awal Mohammed has taken aim at the Ghana Police Service, accusing them of bias and unequal treatment in their dealings with political figures.
Mohammed argued that recent police actions against NPP communicators amounted to public humiliation, while their counterparts in the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) were shielded.
“They used their platform for people to make comments. The police arrested them, put them in handcuffs, took videos, and gave them to NDC communicators before publishing them on their Facebook page,” he said.
He further pointed to the heavy security presence during the trial of NPP Bono Regional Chairman, Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye.
“Over 200 police officers were deployed to guard Abronye in court for a misdemeanour charge.
“Yet when we called for the arrest of Chief Azoka after he threatened to cause a by-election, the police issued a press statement without publishing his face.
“NPP communicators are humiliated publicly, NDC people are shielded,” Mohammed stressed.
The outspoken communicator urged the police to adopt a more balanced approach to law enforcement, warning that public confidence could be eroded if perceived bias continues.
“If you want to engender trust, publish the faces of convicted people, just as you do with NPP members. Otherwise, it looks like selective justice,” he added.
