The National Communication Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi has called on all party faithful to throng the Cantonments Police Station where the parliamentary candidate of the party for Awutu Senya East Constituency, Naa Koryoo Okunor, has been detained.

He said they should come and solidarise with her.

“All NDC supporters should join us at the Cantonments Police station for us to solidarity with our sister and demand her release now. Enough of the oppression and harassment of NDC figures by the …Police Service. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!” he wrote in a statement dated June 7, 2024.

“Her offense is simply that a weapon (gun) was found in her car. The said weapon is registered in her name. All the necessary registration documents have been submitted to the Police.

Unlike, Hawa Koomson who in 2020 actually fired a gun at a registration center, Naa Koryoo has not fired any gun or weapon. Yet, the …Police service is hellbent on detaining her, ” Sammy Gyamfi said.

The trio was apprehended while traveling in a Honda CRV saloon car with registration number GX-2044-19 near the Electoral Commission (EC) Office at  Ofaakor. They were found in possession of a firearm which was linked to a stabbing incident involving Ato Koomson, the son of the current MP and the Minister for Fisheries and Aquaculture, Mavis Hawa Koomson.
