Mahama's bodyguards assault student for saying 'Mahama will lose elections'
The bodyguards of John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), have been accused of physically assaulting a student leader at the Christian Service University College, sparking widespread outrage.
According to reports, the student, Nana Boakye, was beaten by Mahama’s bodyguards after he shouted “You are a liar, You will lose the 2024 elections” while Mahama was delivering a lecture at the university.
The incident has sparked widespread condemnation, with many calling for swift action to be taken against the perpetrators. The youth wing of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has described the incident as “barbaric” and “uncivilized”, demanding an apology from Mahama and his assistance in arresting the perpetrators.
The incident has raised concerns about the culture of political violence and intimidation in Ghana, with many calling for leaders to take responsibility for the actions of their supporters and security personnel.
The NDC has yet to comment on the incident, but the outrage has already sparked a national conversation about the need for political tolerance and the protection of free speech. As the debate rages on, one thing is clear: the incident has sparked a firestorm of outrage that will not be easily extinguished.
