Dr. Stephen Amoah, Member of Parliament for Nhyiaeso Constituency and Deputy Finance Minister, is reported to have drawn a firearm in self-defense after a confrontation with some of his constituents in Atasemanso.
The incident allegedly occurred when a group of youth, who were reportedly upset over the delayed completion of an Astroturf pitch in the area, confronted the MP.
According to sources, the youths, including several party supporters, arrived at the MP’s campaign grounds armed with toy guns. They were seen firing the guns into the air, amid loud cheers.
The group reportedly approached Dr. Amoah to demand updates on the progress of the Astroturf project.
Spokesperson of the NPP in the Nhyiaeso Constituency, Jimmy Boakye Ansah, who confirmed the incident, explained the MP had to defend himself after being confronted by the youth.
“The MP was caught unawares. They had a good discussion with him, and he gave them some money.
The one who pulled the toy gun did it on the blind side of Dr. Amoah,” he explained.
