The Member of Parliament for Suhum Constituency, Mr Kwadjo Asante has clarified that his personal driver was not involved in the fight which happened at a funeral over the weekend.
It was reported that the MP’s driver slashed a man in the head when New Patriotic Party (NPP) supporters clashed at the funeral.
The chaos was triggered when one Frank Asiedu Bekoe, popularly known as Protozoa eyeing to unseat the incumbent Member of Parliament Boafo Kwadwo Asante, and some party communicators and Serial Callers attended the funeral of the late father of one of the communicators identified as Opare on Saturday, August 28, 2021.
While at the funeral, the Member of Parliament and his entourage led by the Constituency chairman Frederick Ofosu also arrived.
Tension began to build up when followers of the MP allegedly started casting aspersions on Protozoa and his group and even blocked them from greeting the MP.
Mr Odei popularly known as “Big Deal” took the microphone to announce that they were leaving for other engagements but wanted to place on record that they had been prevented from greeting the MP.
That did not sit well with supporters of the MP who attacked him sparking the free for all fight.
The driver of the MP Jamalo allegedly pulled a cutlass and inflicted a wound on the head of his victim.
It was reported that two persons sustained injuries during clashes.
In a statement, Mr Kwadjo Asante said, “I wish to state categorically that my personal driver was not involved in the case, Neither was any cutlass nor implement picked from my car as is being alleged in the media.”
He however condemned the entire occurrence, calling on the Ghana Police Service to expedite investigations into the matter.
