Officials of the Electoral Commission have closed down
the Step to Christ registration centre in the Awutu Senya East constituency
after gun-wielding men stormed the premises.
Eyewitnesses say, the men numbering at least 15
arrived at the centre around 8 am and tried to sack some prospective voters.
This resulted in a scuffle that saw gunshots fired and
three motorbikes burnt.
“We were registering for the ID card when suddenly a
car with bodyguards inside, that is from Hawa Koomson arrived. When they got
here, they said anyone not part of the registration exercise should move away.
“There was a Royal bike here and they decided to take
it out of the way but the owner said they should leave it for him to take it
out personally.
