A second-year student of the Christian Service University has sustained a head injury after some supporters of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) allegedly attacked him in Kumasi.
The victim, Nana Boakye who is also identified as an organizer of TESCON, NPP students’ wing, was assaulted after he jeered at John Mahama’s description of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia’s campaign as a ‘concert party’.
Mahama had said in his address at the University’s 50th anniversary public lecture that ‘Ghanaians are in dire straits and this is not the time for comedy. This is not the time for a concert party about passing a mythical steer to somebody’.
The former President’s witty remarks caused a wave of laughter in the auditorium but Nana Boakye anppear to be uncomfortable with the humour.
Narrating what happened to him, the second-year student of communications stated that ‘I also responded and said, ‘Mahama wo boa’ na wo b3 wi’ [To wit, Mahama you’re lying, you will lose]. Later on, I saw a macho man who approached me and gave me a warning that I should be careful. So, I also asked him ‘What have I done’? And the moment I asked him the question, he came directly and slapped me in front of the former President. So on our way out of the auditorium, when we got to the main entrance of the auditorium, I heard another slap. Out of that, I was not able to see anything, and I also saw one guy who held my hand backwards, and they started beating me in my stomach, my head and stuff like that’.
Nana Boakye had his head wrapped in a bandage and a splint also supported his arm in multiple photos Kasatintin.com has sighted online. SOURCE: Kasatintin.com
