The masked men stormed La-Bawaleshie during the by-election and fired gunshots into a crowd of supporters of the NDC injuring 16 of them. They had stormed the area upon intelligence that there was a cache of arms at a warehouse in the opposition candidate’s house. The Commission also called for the dissolution of the SWAT team at the office of National Security. “The Commission recommends that the SWAT team of the National Security Council Secretariat should be disbanded and operatives be reassigned as appropriate,” the report said. It added: “The Commission further recommends that support for special operations should be sought from the specialised units of the police directly as and when necessary.”
