He told host, Mac Jerry Osei-Agyemang that he has concrete evidence of “distribution of weapons by government to some vigilante groups.” General Mosquito, as affectionately called in politics, also hinted of a government plot to clad some vigilante groups in military uniform as a disguise to ease their operations on election day. “They [NPP] will clad some vigilante groups with military uniforms to terrify Voltarians on the elections day.
