The East Ayawaso Constituency of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), on Thursday said it has no hand in the arrest of Alhaji Seidu Yahya, Stephen Kobla, Sambo Suleiman and A.B.Y Flashman, all National Democratic Congress (NDC), constituency executives who were alleged to be the brain behind the Nima riots of May 11.
In a statement issued in Accra the NPP said it wonders why their NDC counterparts in the constituency should associate them with the arrest.
It asked the NDC to stop the campaign of lies against the BNI and the NPP because the arrest of the four has nothing to do with any bid to take over the ACDR office at Nima.
The statement said no names have been given to the BNI as alleged by the NDC and the NPP would not engage in any tussle over any building whatsoever adding, it is not true that the NPP in East Ayawaso has hoisted its party flag on the ACDR building.
It said in spite of acts of provocation, intimidation and vandalism openly endorsed by the NDC within the constituency it has maintained a dignified posture and would not allow itself to be drawn into a propaganda war aimed at interfering with the work of the BNI and in the process stop the wheel of justice.
By labeling all genuine and legal attempts by the BNI to do their work as witch-hunt, the NDC is simply trying to give immunity to its activists. This is unfortunate, it said.
