Unknown armed men vandalise NDC party office at Awiaso Junction in Ellembelle District
Unknown armed men vandalised an NDC party office in the early hours of May 07, 2026, at Awiaso junction in the Ellembelle District. The assailants, wielding guns and machetes, destroyed the new NDC party office under construction near Aiyinasi, valued at GHc 1 million.
Joseph Armah Agyekum, the District Chief Executive (DCE) of Ellembelle, condemned the acts of vandalism. According to Joseph Armah Agyekum, "apart from the court and himself as DCE and Chairman of the District Security Council (DISEC), no one has the right to pull down any structure under any circumstances". Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, Member of Parliament (MP) for Ellembelle, bought two plots of land in 2017 valued at GHc 20,000 each from the late Chief Nana Boadi. The royal family, led by Nana Akpanyi Armoo, the Chief of Awiaso, and the Abusuakpanyinli, Nana Ekeyeboe, stated that the land was not sold to Nana Boadi, who allegedly sold it to the MP. The case was pending in court before it was withdrawn for settlement under the Alternate Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanism. The royal family wanted the MP and the NDC party in Ellembelle to ensure that the national House of Chiefs gazettes King Kaku Aka III, Paramount Chief of Awiaso Traditional Area, as Overlord of Nzema land. Mr Armah Agyekum observed that "this was not the first time; the structure had been demolished by the people since construction work commenced, only to demonstrate their anger and frustration at the party for not coming to terms with their demand".
