The leadership of the opposition National Democratic Congress(NDC) has cautioned its party agents across the country against the Electoral Commission’s alleged intentions of deceiving them to sign “fraudulent” pink sheets for a reward.

According to the NDC, they’d picked intelligence suggesting that some District EC Officials have been persuading NDC Party Agents to come over to their offices or meet them at certain locations to sign fraudulent pink sheets they have prepared, for a handsome reward.

The party’s Director of Elections, Elvis Afriyie Ankrah in a memo sighted by Kasapafmonline.com, dated January, 22 and forwarded to all Regional/Constituency Executive committees among others warned that this is a criminal agenda to serve the EC’s parochial interests considering the current legal challenges on the 2020 general elections.

“We humbly urge all our gallant Agents to ignore such calls and accordingly, hasten to report such acts to the Party hierarchy,” the memo said.

The Director of Elections in his memo further entreated the party agents to endeavour to act in the supreme interest of the party and resist all forms of temptations that come their way.

This comes on the back of former President John Mahama’s motion filed at the Supreme court demanding the Electoral Commission to provide them with original copies of the collated presidential results of the 275 constituencies among others in the ongoing election petition case.

Renowned businessman, and younger brother of former President Mahama, Ibrahim Mahama has withdrawn the last 60 pesewas from the account of loudmouth PRO for Ghana Gas, Ernest Owusu Bempah, according to reports by MyNewsGh.

This follows the execution of an order by an Accra High Court which awarded a cost of GHS310,000 to the CEO of Engineers and Planners after he won a defamation suit against the embattled PRO of Ghana Gas.

The Court had ordered the National Investment Bank (NIB) to transfer the amount of GHS310,000 to the businessman. The court also ordered that in case the amount in the account is less than the awarded amount, the account must be emptied.

In compliance with the court order, MyNewsGh reports that the account was emptied due to the fact that the amount in that account was less than the awarded cost.

The report further indicates that the lawyers of Mr Mahama are exploring the possibility of emptying Mr Owusu Bempah’s momo account to defray the awarded cost.

Meanwhile, Owusu Bempah has said that he intends to challenge the judgement of the court at the Supreme Court.

Lawrence Nana Asiamah Hanson, populsrly known as Bulldog has given detailed explanations on how he was apprehended by some officials of the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI), now National Intelligence Bureau (NIB).

Bulldog was reportedly arrested on Monday, January 11, 2021 after his comment on UV that President Akufo-Addo will not finish his four year term if aggrieved customers of gold dealership firm, Menzgold, do not get their locked-up funds.

“We’ll get our monies back else Nana Addo will run; he won’t finish his 4 years. I’m telling you. He won’t finish his 4 years,” a visibly angry Bulldog barked but later said his comment was not a threat, rather, it is to point out that the president should take the blame and do the needful.

“There is no way I have anything personal against the president. I am a citizen. I haven’t said I was going to kill him or anything. All I’m saying is that he should pay the customers because it was under his government they lost their monies.”

After spending more than 24 hours in police custody, he was granted bill with three sureties.

See his full narration below:

Chapter One

Orders From Above — The Presidential Swoop

In the sweltering heat of January eleventh, twenty twenty one, between thirteen hundred and fourteen hundred hours my rights as a citizen of Ghana was infringed on.

I had finished a radio programme ‘Best Entertainment Show’ on Okay FM as a discussant and proceeded to Adabraka afterwards. I arrived at my journey’s end at a quarter to thirteen hundred hours.

With my engine still on, I held out a little longer in the car attending to a client on the phone.

I alighted after the call and engaged Joshua, my personal assistant in a conversation, just under two minutes we were pounced on by four strapping men in bulletproof vests menacingly brandishing guns, as they bawl and bluster in demand of our phones.

They had disembarked from a Land Cruiser, one out of a motorcade of five that had pulled up to a screeching halt, blocked my car and surrounded my premises as two police officers leaped out wielding AK47 assault rifles.
For a moment I fell into a light trance and it seemed we were on a set of an action film, an insistent and peremptory request from them to me — to get into the vehicle broke my reverie.

The main gate to my premises was cracked open, I was escorted into the house and the swooping began.

During the poke about, I queried what they were after, I got a question for an answer — Do you own a weapon? I will be amazed if someone like you doesn’t have one, he babbled out.

My response was dissenting, he impressed on me how crucial his query was but my riposte had no revision.

Professionalism gave in to overzealousness when a member of the sleuths pulled out their phone as if they were receiving a call and stole a shot of me in handcuffs. I patiently await the publication of the photograph.

I was ushered back into the vehicle after the raid and the anterior of my premises had been besieged to make way for our exit, I asked their identity and in a haughty response I learned they were BNI operatives.

My disputatious self nearly offered a rebuttal by saying: there’s no security firm by that moniker, but I held my peace based on clairvoyance.
A sudden shriek from the team leader to his boys, had my car added to the motorcade. We sped off through thick traffic and headed to the ridge offices of the National Intelligence Bureau, (NIB).

Protection of Personal Liberty:

Under Article 14(2), any person who is arrested or detained by law enforcement authorities has the right to know the reasons for his arrest or detention.

“(2) A person who is arrested, restricted or detained shall be informed immediately, in a language that he understands, of the reasons for his arrest, restriction or detention and of his right to a lawyer of his choice.”

My Miranda rights weren’t read to me. I was abducted.

The cloak and dagger snatch by trigger happy gumshoes sent from the presidency on that momentous afternoon was meant to cower.

However, I remain resolute with God as my strength.

Psalm 23:4
