The Inter-Party Resistance against the New Register (IPRAN) has its members stormed the CID headquarters to show their solidarity for Benard Mornah who was invited by the police.
According to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the police service, the Chairman of PNC was reported to them by the high ranking officers of the electoral commission for inciting violence against their staff during the compilation of the voters’ register.
He was then invited by the police to make himself available to assist in investigations on the 2nd of June regarding his unpalatable comments he made last week.”
He stated in the IPRAN conference last week that “A constitutional body with a clear mandate subject to the law and you have a Ghanaian speak to the entire country that if they go ahead, we will disrupt and we will kill one another . . . One Ghanaian tells all of us that let the constitutionally mandated body charged with the duty to compile a register to enable us to exercise our franchise to select or elect those who will wish to govern our country; let somebody go ahead, they will disrupt the exercise. They will kill one another…If I were the Minister for National Security, straightaway, I will pick up this man. What he did yesterday amounted to a declaration of war.”
However, he still stands by his word blaming the English teachers of those against what he said. “So if anybody is calling for my arrest, I don’t have a problem with them but their English teacher. I will easily walk to any police station they want me to go to. I am available to be arrested,” he reiterated.
Due to a partial ban on the social gathering, the automobile horn honking was arranged to protest over the systematic gagging of critical voices in recent times. This was to last 10 minutes after 12 am on 2nd June.
