On social media, others chastised the party over his arrest:
“Don’t ever take Loyalty for Granted!
Loyalty is Earned!
Don’t ever Spit on a Face that Smiles at you!
Paraphernalia of Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia was burnt in Bawku this morning in protest of the arrest of Prince Malik Badimsugru Baako by Anthony Namoo the NPP Upper East Regional Chairman.
Whilst the NDC are seriously recruiting their youth and preparing them for the election 2024, the NPP is busy arresting and intimidating its youth. Don’t ever take Loyalty for Granted!
Loyalty is Earned! Don’t ever Spit on a Face that Smiles at you,” one protester wrote.
The arrest of Mr Badimsugru continues to provoke dissatisfaction and anger in the municipality.
