National Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Ofosu Ampofo has been invited by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service to assist with investigations into a leaked audio in which he is said to be conspiring with some party members to attack political opponents.
The NDC Chairman per is required to report at the CID Headquarters in Accra at 10 am on Thursday, February 28, 2019.
The letter from the CID follows a public backlash against comments allegedly made by Ofosu Ampofo in the leaked A secret audio recording.
According to the audio, the NDC Chairman recommended kidnappings as a perfect way to silence political opponents.
He also verbally assaulted Chairman of the National Peace Council, Most Rev. Emmanuel Asante and incited his audience believed to be NDC members against the EC Chairperson, Jean Mensa.
The NDC has however denied it was Mr. Ofosu Ampofo’s voice as captured on the tape.
A statement signed by Communications officer of the NDC, Sammy Gyamfi claimed the tape was doctored to deceive the public.
“The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has taken notice of an alleged leaked audio recording being circulated by officials and surrogates of Government and the New Patriotic Party, in which certain doctored remarks have been mischievously attributed to the National Chairman of the NDC.”
However, we are not surprised about this act of desperation on the part of the ruling NPP. In the wake of an impending damning expose by ace investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, in which key officials of the Akufo-Addo government have been caught on camera receiving bribes in order to compromise government’s so-called fight against illegal mining, the NDC can understand government’s restless desperation to divert public attention with this rather vile and fraudulent audio recording. The NDC states for the records that the statements and attributions contained on the said tape are concocted and false,” parts of the statement read.
