Abor told the media shortly after the raid that some of the security operatives were masked, with others armed as they searched his home for the NPP's Bono Regional Chairman.
He stated that it was only after they had searched everywhere in his house that they told him their reason for the visit.
“They searched the entire house. They searched all the rooms, my gardens, and even went into the next house. The police were there. Some of them were armed. They did not give the reason for their search until they were done.”
