NDC MP Sam George slapped, beaten during Ayawaso by-election

Myjoyonline.com has obtained video footage depicting NDC Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram, Samuel George, being heckled and attacked by masked men wielding guns in the ongoing Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency.

Early Thursday morning, Sam Dzata George posted on Facebook that he had just been assaulted by several members of the NPP Invisible Forces. He claims that they were wearing NSC shirts.

In the video, about 50-60 men are seen chasing the MP as they hurled insults and slapped him.

“[George] is traumatized. When I went to his home he was in the bedroom and couldn’t even move. I don’t understand why people would do this,” Chairman of the NDC, Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, told Joy FM.
