The Senior female police officer who was allegedly caught on tape discussing investigations into alleged corruption allegations against two Deputy Chiefs of Staff with self-confessed NPP activist, A-Plus, claims the audio in circulation has been doctored to achieve some "mischievous and evil" motives.
Deputy Director-General of the Criminial Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service, Maame Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah, insists a large portion of contents of the purported audio of the conversations with A-Plus to influence his confessions regarding two Deputy Chiefs of Staff, which has since gone viral are "a total fabrication and a figment of the author's imagination".
Controversial Musician, Kwame Asare Obeng affectionately called A Plus, alleged Francis Asenso Boakye and Samuel Abu Jinapor, the two deputy Chiefs of Staff, are corrupt; prompting the President to call for thorough investigations into the matter in his resolve to fight corruption under his administration.
The Police CID subsequently invited him to their headquarters for interrogation and to provide further evidence to his claims.
After interrogating the issue, the Deputy Chiefs of Staff were cleared of any acts of corruption because the musician failed to substantiate the claims of corruption against them.
The Director of Police CID, COP Bright Oduro, thus stated in a final report that the claims were baseless and lacked merit, absolving the two appointees of any wrongdoing.
Interestingly, barely two weeks after that report, a leaked tape containing the voice of A Plus and the female investigator contradicting the contents of the final report has surfaced.
Whiles commenting on how difficult it had been for the police to get the musician's original accusations he posted on his facebook wall (because it had been deleted), and A-Plus' claims that he never described the two Deputy Chiefs of Staff as "thieves" (in the original fb post), she is clearly heard advising the musician on why he therefore needs to amend his earlier statement in light of the development.
At a point she said: "as for the corruption aspect of it, from what you said and what we’ve gone to confirm, you wouldn’t be too far from right to say that this is what happened, but we need to manage… the people are your people. We need to find the best way to ensure that Korle Bu works the way we all want it to work....”
“....I feel sad for Nana, I think he has good intentions but he is not going to achieve them. You need somebody who’ll be neutral to tell them exactly what is there for them to understand and I wish I could have an audience with the President himself. Because it looks like most of the things doesn’t get to him…yes I feel sad for him,” Maame Yaa Tiwaa allegedly.
But in a personal statement issued today and sighted by Peacefmonline.com, the Deputy Director-General of the CID asserted the telephone conversation between her and A-plus "has been doctored and/or edited to achieve a deliberate, mischievous and evil purpose".
Admittedly, she said, she had a chat with A-plus over the issue and asked him to "document his denial of the thievery allegation against the two Deputy Chiefs of Staff by coming back to give a further statement".
She, however, stated emphatically that nowhere in the said conversation did she intimate to the musician "in any conversation whatsoever, that I believe that his allegation of corruption against the two Senior Government Officials had been confirmed following our investigations".
Mrs Addo-Danquah, who felt "pained" by what she described as a "calculated and dastardly attempt to soil my reputation" then stated:
"Certainly, I could not possibly had come to that conclusion when at the time I spoke to he, A-plus, whilst insisting that he documents his denial of thievery against the two, the investigative team had not had the benefit of a response from the two appointees.
"I have listened to the purported telephone conversation between myself and A-Plus many times and it is very obvious that my conversation with him has been doctored and/or edited to achieve a deliberate, mischievous and evil purpose. Much of the content of the said tape is a total fabrication and a figment of the author's imagination. He mischievously picked some aspect of my voice in a later conversation I had with him when the report was released. Significantly, it is imperative to indicate that the said telephone conversation that has been doctored or edited lasted for 56 seconds. It should be clear to discerning Ghanaians that the said mischievous recording lasted for over 5 minutes", she added.
She further accused A-plus of threatening to "put my voice in the public domain because the team had insulted him" by reporting that his allegations were baseless.
"I feel pained by this calculated and dastardly attempt to soil my reputation and I condemn same in no terms. In spite of this to distract me from my work, I remain a committed Police Officer who will fight and expose crime wherever I find it and regardless of who is involved".
Mrs. Addo-Danquah stated categorically that she "remains fully in agreement with the conclusions reached by the investigative team which is that the allegations of corruption levelled against the two Deputy Chiefs of Staff were completely baseless and without merit and also lacked credibility. Indeed the accuser provided no evidence at all to back his allegations and the investigative panel found no wrongdoing".
Meanwhile, A-plus speaking in an interview on Okay FM's Morning show "Adekye Abia" has denied knowledge of the audio recording with the CID Deputy Director-General.
According to him, he has never recorded any private conversation with Mrs. Addo-Danquah and doesn't know where the said tape recording is coming from.

CORRUPT AS HE ALWAYS WANTS PEOPLE TO BELIEVE, THEN HE MUST COVER UP THIS ONE AS USUAL.THE MEDIA MUST PURSUE THIS CASE,EVERYBODY IN THE PRESIDENCY MUST BE INVESTIGATED, INCLUDING THE PRESIDENT. CORRUPTION SAGA IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR IN OFFICE IS SOMETHING, STOP USING SECURITY APPARATUS TO PERPETRATE LOOT AND SHARE IN THE PRESIDENCY. WE DON'T KNOW IF CHRAJ IS A TOOTHLESS DOG, BECAUSE WE'VE NOT SEEN CHRAJ TAKEN ANY SERIOUS ACTION ABOUT ALL THESE CORRUPTIONS IN NPP GOVERNMENT.
when you operate a business venture by putting family and friends in key managerial positions,you will definitely fail because of familiarity threats.they will never abide by the rules and the ethical standards of the business and the business will collaps. that is what has been happening in Ghana and African politics and so,we are stagnated in development.all these institutions are headed by families and friends so do you expect change or development? hell no.CHANGE YOUR ATTITUDE AND BELIEF SYSTEMS TO GROW BLACKS.
IF THE PRESIDENT WANTS TO PROOF THAT HE IS NOT CORRUPT AS HE ALWAYS WANTS PEOPLE TO BELIEVE, THEN HE MUST ACT FAST WITHOUT DELAY. THIS IS A ANOTHER TEST FOR NANA AKUFO ADO,AFTER HE FAILED IN BOST AND DELTA 8, THAT THE WHOLE NATION WILL SEE IF INDEED IS NOT CORRUPT. BUT I CAN GUESS WHAT WILL HAPPEN --- THE PRESIDENT WILL KEEP MUTE AS IF NOTHING IS HAPPENING JUST A S USUAL WITH DELTA 8, BOST SAGA, ETC... POLICE IN GHANA ARE INDEED ROTTEN!
Good Morning beautiful Ghanaian people... am just speechless... because honestly when it comes to Ghana Police Service issues, they (Ghana Police Service)knows how to defend and cover up their selves without leaving any trace with the only answer / solution "NO EVIDENCE"... But when it is the ordinary Ghanaian like you and I, then forget... 'But indeed the Light shines in the darkness and the darkness cannot comprehend it, (Light). TIME WILL TELL. Service with integrity Indeed...
I really think that it is time to cut this A Plus to size. What the heck does he think he is?When people like Kennedy Agyepong throw tantrums we can understand because of their huge contributions to the party. What did A plus do that helped the party to win the elections?The guy wakes up in the morning and he feels his ***barred word*** self is more important than everybody.I hate people who talk without thinking.There are thousands of Ghanaians who helped in many subtle ways for Nana to become president . They are not making demands .They are not threatening fire and brimstone if they don't get what they want. A plus as a musician or comedian is a failure. He should be brought down to terra firma.
Please with immediate effect take those two thievesx away from the presidency Whether they are right or not they should leave the jubilee house. This is not Mahama’s administration where thievesx are kept at the presidency
Doctored or not, madam u acted very unprofessional. U are meant to know better than put yourself in this compromising position. Telling him to deny parts of his statements originally made was just unbelievable. Very unprofessional of u. You're no better than than the perceived korrupt politicians. Why can't pple be genuine koraa in Ghana? 99% practice korruption everyday and anywhere with no care in the world and then turn round a point accusing fingers to someone else. Double standards everywhere u look. Somewhere in the world where I leave, this would've certainly cost u your job straight up. U no try koraaa... And to npp, the earlier u sort this loud mouth Aplus out, the better. Or you will regret entertaining him in your quarters. He's a liability. His intentions are self serving and not because he loves Ghana. Selfish baas..tard.
Hahahaaaaa, I lough enter Akufo Ado corrupt family government. "A truth can never be subdued, however hard you try it will always insist on surfacing like a calabash guard been pressed under water". Where are the NPP fanatics here? Hahahaaaa, the game has just started.
I listen to A plus and he made a statement that I think we should not take for granted. He said "John mahama use three months to win election and use four months to lose election miserably so Npp should keep defending issues". President should not just look at issue as allegation. I think it goes above that. Aside the police report the president should also check these two very well because A plus could be right.
Truth can't never be hide under or lies can never cover truth. What is the bruhahaha about this whole story? lets not pretend, it is clear and we can all see that A PLUS HAS A POINT in this corruption allegation. It is not just a mere allegation or because people think A PLUS has bad mind towards these two people that the allegation has been made against. Some people think this government is too young for things like corruption allegation, so we are all running away from the truth and trying to do cover up and that is why the issue is surfacing. Even after the police report A PLUS still belief he has a point but have been made to keep quiet. President should get these people changed from their office to stop this brouhaha period.
