On Tuesday, May 28, the youths stormed the district badembly offices and locked up Mr. Osei-Nti's office.
They claimed that his actions were not for the benefit of the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

He asked the police to ensure that those arrested are treated in accordance with the law "in order to deter all those who intend to engage in such irresponsible behavior in the future".
