The Upper West regional Minister, Alhaji Sulemana Alhassan has been suspended by the President of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo.
His suspension comes a day after some youth of the governing New Patriotic Party attacked the NADMO office in the Upper West region.
A statement announcing his suspension said his suspension is to pave way for investigation into the incidents that occurred at the Upper West regional office of the National Disaster Management Organisation on Wednesday January 31.
The statement said in his absence, the Deputy Regional Minister, Ishaq Amidu is expected to act as the Regional Minister.
A group of angry youth purported to be members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) besieged the Upper West Regional office of the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) on Wednesday evening and chased out the Regional Director, Isaac Seidu.
At about 5:00 pm on Wednesday, the youth from the Wa East district, numbering about 30, arrived in two pickups and a minibus, according to eyewitnesses.
