The incensed youth marched to the premises of the Regional Police Headquarters to demand his immediate release.
Accra-based Joy FM reports that but for the timely intervention of the Youth Organiser of the party, Mohammed Alhassan Gaana, there would have been mayhem.
The Youth Organiser managed to dissuade the party supporters from invading the Police station, with a promise to have Baba Alhassan released on Friday.
Although the incensed group agreed, they threatened to return if their man is not released as promised.
The Kandahar Boys, who are affiliated to the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), have been in the news in the last few days following their attack of the Tamale Hospital.

The group held that under the watch of Dr. Alkolbila, the Tamale Teaching Hospital is deteriorating.
They accused the CEO of adopting a habit of issuing threats to staff, engaging in procurement breaches and neglecting the purchase of key hospital consumables such as examination gloves, needles and syringes, among others.
They also said he had neglected them despite the role they played in getting him appointed.
Meanwhile, Dr. Kolbila was reinstated on Tuesday, after REGSEC unlocked his office and assured him of security.
