As of now, the NDC constituency chairman and organizer in the Buem Constituency are at the police station, seeking bail for the two suspects.

Reports suggest that the NDC members in the area aided these two and other Togolese nationals in crossing the border to partake in the registration process. These individuals are currently being accommodated by the NDC leadership in the area.

Sources indicate that many such individuals are in the constituency and are being transported to the registration center in small groups by the NDC leadership.

The arrest of the two has reportedly caused concern among others who have not yet registered.

Despite efforts by the NDC leadership to secure bail for the two detainees, the police are preparing to present them before the court tomorrow.
