Education Minister To Police: Shoot And Kill Ballot Snatchers

Minister of Education, Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh, has instructed Police officers to shoot and kill people who will attempt to snatch ballot boxes in the ongoing general elections.

Speaking on Accra-based Asempa FM, Dr. Opoku Prempeh, who is popularly known as Napo, said whatever ballot snatching that may happen during the election will be perpetrated by members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and so the Police should feel free to shoot them dead.

“The NDC is recruiting some EC staff to rig the election but we know all those people and we will make sure their plans won’t work,” he added.

Napo repeated his blood-curdling call on his troops on the ground to burn alive any NDC man or woman who will attempt to disrupt elections at Manhyia South where he is MP.

“Those of us in Manhyia will burn tires at the polling station to protect our ballot and anyone who tries to snatch a ballot box will be killed,” he added.
