The Greater Accra Regional Secretary of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr Daniel Parker Odailai France, who ordered a gang of 8 men to assault a party delegate, Mr Daniel Amakye Kingsford, during a political event, will today, Wednesday, 16 March 2022, be arraigned.

This comes on the back of investigations conducted into the matter by the police.

Mr Odailai France has been charged and arraigned.

A statement issued by the Public Affairs Unit of the Ghana Police Service signed by Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Juliana Obeng, said: “The Accra Regional Police CID has invited the suspect to assist the investigation and formally charged him yesterday, Tuesday, 15 March 2022.”

He was, however, released on a police enquiry bail and is expected to appear before court today.

The Greater Accra Regional Secretary is alleged to have pushed the party delegate, who is also an aspirant in the upcoming constituency elections, to the ground during the acclamation of the Ablekuma West polling station executives on Sunday, 13 March 2022 at Dansoman.

He then ordered some eight men to beat up the victim.
