Hi, this is false info. I was there. The whole thing began on Saturday when an NPP guy, Dacosta, tried to hit an NDC lady because she was arguing with another NPP lady. The police separated them and it calmed down.

And why should any objective person believe your narrative? The video doesn't even show who exactly he was confronting and you want me to believe it's a student? HELL NO! Why would he even provoke a prospective voter? For all you know, it's his opponent's agent he confronted.

Please spreading false news is a crime. You are an adult, and you should know this. A man of your calibre shouldn’t be doing this. I thought you were a role model.

@GhPoliceService if John did attack someone let the laws work and if this is misinformation and public misleading let the laws work as well.
