NDC gives Police 48-hour ultimatum to arrest NPP members over theft of rail tracks

The Eastern Regional Communications Bureau of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has given the Ghana Police Service a 48-hour ultimatum to arrest its personnel and some leading members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) who are behind the theft and onward sale of abandoned rail tracks in the region.

The NDC alleges that some police personnel from the Counter Terrorism Unit are providing security for some constituency officers of the NPP and their accomplices who have been contracted to steal abandoned rail tracks for onward sale to Chinese investors.

At a press conference, the NDC indicated that they have in their possession pictures and videos from the Upper West Akim, Asene Manso Akroso, Achiase, Nsawam-Adoagyiri, New Juaben North and South, and Abuakwa North Municipalities, and other areas of how rail tracks in those areas are being cut away and loaded onto trucks under the strict protection and supervision of police personnel.
The Eastern Regional Communications Officer of the NDC, Kojo Dankwah, said that the NDC will petition the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) to investigate the matter.
