At a press conference Friday, George Opare Addo, NDC's national youth organizer, said the police would exasperate if his request was ignored.
"We demand the immediate arrest of violent thug Henry Nana Boakye within 24 hours. If, on Monday at the latest, the arrest has not taken place, we will consider this an abdication of the responsibility of the police administration. We will have no choice but to mobilize our members to seek justice for our comrade, "he added.
In a video that went viral on social media, Nana B badaulted Sammy Gyamfi in the studios of the Accra-based radio station Asempa FM.
The incident allegedly took place during the channel's political broadcast, Ekosii sen, on Friday afternoon.
It is unclear what triggered the attack, but according to reports, Sammy Gyamfi criticized the NPP for the violence recorded in the byelection of Asawasa West Wuogon's constituency when it was incurred the wrath of Nana B.
Speaking at a press conference held late at night, George Opare Addo condemned the attack on Sammy Gyamfi, which allegedly took place following a recent attack that allegedly was committed against the NDC's Deputy National Youth Coordinator, Eric Edem Agbana, by the same Nana B.
"We unequivocally condemn the badault on a person, no less than a national leader of our party. It should be noted that this same hooligan of a youth organizer, Henry Nana Boakye, yesterday ordered the bandits badociated with the NPP to attack our National Deputy Organizer of Youth, Eric Edem Agbana. "
"The NPP has once again demonstrated that the mantra" All die, die "proposed by their president, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has become their political philosophy, because it is not an isolated case of blatant violence displayed by the NPP under the Akufo-Addo-led government, "added George Opare Addo.
He again asked Asempa FM to inscribe Nana B on his blacklist.
In the meantime, every effort to get a response from Nana B has been unsuccessful.
Background of the violence of Ayawaso West Wuogon
This occurs as a result of violence that occurred in the constituency of Ayawaso West Wuogon during a by-election that took place Thursday in the region.
National security agents reportedly fired at a polling center in La Bawaleshie, injuring about six people suspected of being NDC supporters in Thursday's elections.
The NDC MP for Ningo-Prampram, Sam George, was also badaulted during the process when he received slaps from security personnel providing security at a polling station in the area. .
The NDC subsequently opted not to participate in the race claiming to have made the decision to prevent further attacks against their members.
The police, however, are investigating the problem. The attacks have been widely condemned by civil society organizations, including CODEO and OccupyGhana, among others.
