The government of Ghana has condemned the reported shooting incident that took place at the Ashanti Regional Headquarters of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) leaving one dead and another in intensive care.
A group affiliated with the NDC known as the 'Hawk' took the law into their own hands; like normally seen in an action movie and engaged in a free-for-all gunshots with a taskforce also belonging to the NDC.
In the end, one person died and another seriously injured.
The police in its preliminary investigations has revealed that it is on a manhunt for four persons in connection with the incident.
In a statement issued and signed by Minister of Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, government has expressed condolences to the bereaved family and has wished the injured a speedy recovery.
It has also urged the Ashanti Regional Police Command to “speed up investigations to bring the perpetrators to book”.
“Government reiterates that violence should be eschewed from all spheres of our national life. Citizens and groups are further encouraged to desist from actions that create a state of insecurity in our nation,” the statement added.

This petty little thing known as the information minister is the biggest twerp in the country for his big senseless lies
YAMIN WAS SUPPOSED TO COME TO THE PURPORTED MEETING. DID HE COME OR DID NOT. IT IS ALLEGED THE HAWKS HAD COME BECAUSE HE WAS EXPECTED. AND THAT HE SPONSORED THE HAWKS. IF THIS IS THE CASE THAT HE MUST BE INVITED BY THE POLICE TO BE INTERROGATED. AT LEAST HE MIGHT PROVIDE CLUE ABOUT THE MOTORBIKE SHOOTING GANG, KNOWN AS THE HAWKS.
GHANA'S PROBLEM IS NDC. THEY ARE A COLLECTION LAZY PEOPLES FEEDING ON THE TAX PAYERS MONEY. THEY ALWAYS WANT TO BE IN POWER TO ENJOY THE TAX PAYERS MONEY.
Thanks to those who are condemning both sides. For those who have taken the partisan route, wait till either your NPP and/or NDC hoodlums grow enough wings and start attacking anybody indiscriminately, you will not be immune to their actions. The politicians will evacuate their wives and children and it will be left with you and your family to pick up the pieces. That is when you will learn that your unprincipled behaviour has a huge cost. Just continue to be partisan and we will meet on the other side.
also speed up the Ayawaso shooting incidence.
This is boot for boot
What an opportunistic Information Minister, Why you did not rust in condemning the by-election one at Ayawoso?
John Mahama and his party executives are behind the shooting incident.Who launch the "HAWK".Government must report JOHN MAHAMA to the International Diplomats for them to warn him ahead of 2020 Elections or else.

Thanks for the SWIFTNESS in issuing the government statement condemning the shooting. This is what I was expecting during the shooting that took place during the Ayawaso West bye-elections but you failed leaving room for speculations of NPP involvement.
