The NPP supporters berated and hooted after the police car later left the entrance of the EOCO office with Ralph St Williams reportedly inside for his safety.

The incident marked the Fix The Country convener's latest encounter with angry NPP supporters. In March 2025, he found himself in a heated moment with some party folks during former Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia's visit to the Adum PZ Market in the Ashanti Region after the fire incident.

The NPP presidential candidate for the 2024 general elections had visited the market to commiserate with the victims of the fire incident and donate 1,000 bags of cement and a cash amount of GH¢200,000 to help with their rebuilding efforts.

The visit was marred when a heated argument ensued between Ralph St Williams and the NPP supporters, who confronted him for allegedly taking photos of Dr Mahamudu Bawumia without permission for malicious reasons.
