“They are planning to set fire on markets and hospitals so that it will create disaffection for the party in its stronghold of the Ashanti Region and we are monitoring them.

“NADMO got this information one month ago and so we are working alongside the security agencies in order to prevent the arsonists from striking”, he indicated.

The NADMO boss said the plans of some people to burn down markets and hospitals in Kumasi would not materialise “because we are alert and ready to face them”.

Nsenkyire advised the residents to go about the businesses without any fear. He said sthe markets and hospitals were properly protected.
