Two security personnel of the Volta Aluminium Company Limited (VALCO) were reportedly assaulted on Wednesday, January 8, 2025, by individuals believed to be supporters of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

The group allegedly stormed the company’s premises with the intention of locking the offices of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Deputy CEO, citing the end of former President Akufo-Addo’s tenure as their justification.

Kwame Abubakar Essuman, the Director of Human Resources and Administration at VALCO confirmed the incident to Citi News, adding that one of the security officers sustained injuries and required medical attention.

“The officer was struck from behind with a stick, resulting in head swelling and general body pain. He has since been treated and discharged,” Essuman stated.

The Tema Newtown District Police Command has assured VALCO of heightened security to prevent further incidents.
