Ghanaian actress, Lydia Forson has reported she is being harassed by some faceless members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) over a post she made about the party.

The actress, known for sharing her opinion on national happenings on social media, did same yesterday after the government announced travellers to the country have to pay $150 for their COVID test.

Lydia Forson questioned the government saying:

“Why are people having to pay $150 dollars for another test at the airport, when they’re already required to test 72hrs before departure and show a certificate before boarding?!! My comrades from 2014-2016 where are you? Wake up, it’s time to start speaking up ?!! There’s too much we can’t be quiet about anymore!!!I’ve had to be careful about the things I say for so long because of things I’ve suffered silently, but come on is GHANA not for all of us?!!

“We must hold every single government to the same standards. Chale when Mahama was in power, our fingers were ready on our keyboards even when he coughed, we made his government so uncomfortable it became hard for them to hide much. We must extend the same to this government!!!! We MUST hold every single government accountable, everyone !! Because it’s doesn’t matter who comes or stays in power, if we remain silent they will do with us as they please!! Make your voice heard!”.

Following the post above, Lydia Forson says she has been attacked by some sympathizers of the party and shared a photo of one with the caption; “Please whose family member is this? He says he will make sure I don’t get away with the “shit” I post. Who’s willing to help us meet so he shows me exactly how.”
