The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service has invited the National Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo to assist in investigations.

According to a statement signed by the Deputy Director-General for the Director-General, ACP George Tweneboah, "The Criminal Investigation Department (CID)  of the Ghana Police Service has intercepted an audio message circulating in both traditional and social media on Wednesda, 27th February, 2019, in which you are alleged to have made some comments that have some security implications."

Mr. Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo is therefore requested to report to the CID Headquarters on Thursday, 28th February, 2019 at 10am. 

Background

A leaked audio circulating on social media and purported to be the voice of NDC’s National Chairman, Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo is creating ‘fear and panic’ ahead of the 2020 General elections.

The leaked tape which is believed to be from a meeting held at the NDC’s headquarters days after the infamous Ayawso West Wuogon by-election violence, captures leading members of the opposition party allegedly planning strategies the NDC will use to regain power in 2020.

National Chairman, Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo, who could be heard speaking to some party members without equivocation, noted the NDC will target lives of NPP members in 2020 since state security cannot protect them.

According to him, another delicate aspect to win the 2020 election is targeting the EC Chairperson, Madam Jean Mensa.

”We must wage a relentless war on this EC Chair, me she doesn’t want to see my face . . .” he told the party gathering.
