He said it was at that point that another individual, who was engaged as a security person at the event, whisked the money away from the students, which then resulted in an argument.

The outspoken lawmaker said that after a back-and-forth, the security personnel agreed to give the students GH¢200, a suggestion that was refuted, leading to a disagreement, which resulted in one of the students being attacked.

He said the young man was sent to the Suntreso government hospital for treatment.

“I will not drop this case today or tomorrow. I need to protect those supporting me; if not, they will do worse things. I want justice.”

He appealed to his supporters to remain calm in the wake of the recent incident, assuring that justice to be served.
