National Chairman of the NDC, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo is in for a long legal battle as forensic analysis said to have been carried out by the Israel Forensics Science Institute has identified him as the person heard in a leaked tape threatening to kidnap security operatives and attack some state officials.
Samuel Ofosu Ampofo is allegedly heard talking about planning a road-map of criminal activities targeted at the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC) and the Chairman of the National Peace Council, among others.
A police investigator with the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) Headquarters Detective Chief Inspector Berko told an Accra High Court the report places the probability that the voice is that of the politician at 90% leading the experts to conclude that it cannot be the voice of another person.
The police therefore urged the court to accept the recording as evidence for the trial.
Meanwhile, lawyers for Mr. Ampofo led by Tony Lithur insisted the recording breached the rights to privacy and cannot be admitted in evidence.
But Justice Samuel Asiedu ruled that the audio is relevant to the case. He also said it meets the exceptions the constitution allows for such a breach of privacy.
