The General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia (General Mosquito), has been attacked by unknown gunmen.Â
The incident happened at Suhum, in the Eastern Region on Monday, August 28, when he was returning from a trip to Kumasi.Â

The men then got off their car with AK 47 guns and other weapons and banged their wrists on his car, instructing that he and his driver get down from the car, but upon noticing oncoming vehicles, the thugs quickly got into their car and sped off.
