NDC youth attack at Yamin’s press conference in Kumasi: Kofi Boakye not at event

Claim: NDC security boys attacked Joseph Yamin and ex-police chief Kofi Boakye at a press conference in Kumasi, an Accra-based media outlet alleges. 

Verdict: Misleading!

Explanation: Verification by the Ghana Fact-checking Coalition confirms that some irate youth disrupted a press conference held by the NDC’s National Organiser, Joseph Yamin, on December 6, 2024, in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region.

However, the Coalition’s checks have revealed that Former Commissioner of Police, Kofi Boakye, was not present at the said press conference, as claimed in a GhanaWeb report. This has been confirmed by several journalists and eyewitnesses who were present at the event. Our checks also reveal that COP Boakye left Kumasi this morning to go to Accra to cast his ballot.
