A supposed “Machoman” has reportedly made a series of allegations following his arrest, claiming that media personality and political commentator Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah transported him and about 15 others from Kenyasi to Agona ahead of events surrounding the New Patriotic Party (NPP) constituency executive elections.
According to the suspect, he and the other men were brought from Kenyasi and accommodated in Agona before the elections.
He alleged that the group had been assembled for activities connected to the exercise, although the exact nature of their assignment has not been independently verified.
The claims emerged after the suspect was taken into police custody in connection with disturbances that reportedly occurred during the NPP constituency executive election process in the Afigya Sekyere East Constituency of the Ashanti Region.
His allegations come amid heightened political tensions following the arrest of Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah during a dispute over a court injunction relating to the constituency elections.
The incident has generated widespread public and political interest, with supporters and critics offering differing accounts of what transpired.
As of the time of publication, the allegations made by the arrested suspect have not been independently verified, and neither Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah nor his legal representatives have publicly responded to the claims.
The Ghana Police Service has also not issued an official statement confirming the suspect’s allegations or indicating whether they form part of its ongoing investigations.
Investigations into the disturbances and related arrests are ongoing, and authorities are expected to provide further updates as the case develops.
This is a developing story and will be updated as more verified information becomes available.
