Actor/Entrepreneur John Dumelo has reacted to reports that a state V8 vehicle which happened to be in his possession has been seized by National Security officials.
National Security operatives apprehended John Dumelo with a vehicle belonging to the state and retrieved it from a spraying shop, according to a report by Daily Guide on Friday March 24, 2017.
In response, the award-winning actor laughed off the news with an emoji and a screen shot of the daily guide newspaper.
The "Baby Thief" actor also gave an extensive response on facebook, vehemently denying the entire report by Daily Guide.
He posted, “I have not granted any interview both private or public to which I mentioned the name of the first lady for buying me a V8,” although Daily Guide insists that it contacted him on Thursday via telephone and he said, “I wouldn’t like to comment about it.”
He continued, “I bought the vehicle myself; I never said it anywhere that Madam Lordina bought it for me. I have in my entire NDC life met her Excellency only once at a public event. Treat any publication that tries to link my purchase of a V8 to the former first lady as trash.”
“Did I work at the flagstaff house or hold any political appointment that entitled me to a state car? And I’m sure some people within the NDC are rejoicing because of this false news,” he reacted before signing off with “Keep rejoicing…”
Dumelo was allegedly attempting to conceal the identity of the black V8 Toyota Land Cruiser with registration GE 8118 –16 when the operatives pounced on it at a garage at Abelemkpe in Accra where it had purportedly been sent for re-spraying.
The vehicle, with chassis number JTMHVOJ2F4159829, 2015 model with full option, has been parked at the Office of the President Annex for almost one month.
Meanwhile, when John Dumelo was reached via telephone by Daily Guide for his comments yesterday, John Dumelo said, “I wouldn’t like to comment about it.”
In 2012, he appeared subtly in the NDC campaign that saw Mr. Mahama winning the election in a controversial fashion following the sudden death of President John Evans Atta Mills.
He was very active during the 2016 election which sent the NDC packing into opposition; he was seen on several platforms campaigning for the party prior to the poll.
He was reportedly appointed operations director for ‘Agenda For Mahama’ – a pro-NDC youth group – and was given unfettered access to the various senior high schools (SHS) to campaign for President Mahama, although the NDC government had made it look as if he was on tour to campaign for a peaceful election.

What people don't know is that John Dumelo has family members who are NPP gurus. These gurus will definitely go and plead for him that is why he has this loud mouth after disgracing himself. He knows this case would not travel far. This family thing in Africa and especially Ghana is one of the major barriers to the fight against corruption. We all know how the former first lady, Lordina Mahama is trying to use chiefs and family people in the NPP to try and to prevent her from being prosecuted. This family and friends thing will kill this country. Nana Addo will have himself to blame if he becomes too merciful.
If indeed the vehicles belong to the state. That is the action any civilized state would take.
John that car belongs to you. You even bought two of them. One for yourself and the other for you girlfriend. You just decided to remodel the car just one year after acquisition. You want to do your own bus branding. The government of Ghana is just jealous of your success and your good looks. Please take them to the supreme court for ceasing your car and causing fear and panic amongst your female fans. Justice Atuguba is on the bench so you will win/ take the government to the ICC in the Hague. John you are a ***barred word***.
This tribalists ashantis are just been hateful of the guy.Look if you claim he stole a state vehicle,send him to court.We ewes will love him as ours cause he is handsome than all ashantis.PASCO POLITICS.I heard that ***barred word*** for nothing sefa kayi happy...but all be hatred
I can tell most of u do not know him very well. Else you would know that he can afford to buy this car by himself if he wants to. Stp the skin pain. Ghanaians like rejoicing at the flaws of others too much.
The said company which he said he bought the V8 belongs to Ex Prz Mahama,it was a sole saucing for the said company to solely provide the Mahama's admistration V8 vihecles.So,i wasn't surprised when Dumelo said he bought the car from the said company.
If your mother is dead and you say she is asleep so be it. We live to see.
Mt. Dumelo, if you bought the vehicles yourself, go to the BNI with receipts and claim your car. Resorting to press will not help your case since you intend to answer your critics through the press. The Car is not for you PERIOD. You knew where the state bought the cars from hence your assertion that you bought the cars yourself. You will go to gail for ***barred word***!!
You are a real ***barred word***. You bought the vehicle in 2016 and decided to change the colour in 2017. You big ***barred word***. John Mahama used the poor tax taxers money to buy these super vehicles for self styled celebrities like you. You are all ***barred word*** and never shall John Mahama see the seat of government in his life. A real greedy selfish ***barred word*** man exploited by opportunists like you. You all will pay back one day.
If indeed you claim that u bought it yourself then why are you saying u know some of your fellow NDC's are rejoicing over this issue, those people will only rejoice if they didnt had their share after u had urs so they will be happy to see you loosing it to the rightful owners which is the state, becareful with what u say cos it will be use against u in the court of law. NDC paaa and JM don kill us already ooo if they had won power to celebrate the Ghana at 60 then we would have sold the countryt to the expats
