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.

The Anlo Traditional Council have expressed their anger at the planning committee in charge of the funeral for the late former president Rawlings, slamming them for their handling of the event.

Head of the Funeral Planning Committee, James Victor Gbehor, announced on Monday, November 30, in a statement that Wednesday, December 23 has been agreed on as the day for the burial and funeral of the late president.

He stated that the family and the government are working together to give Rawlings a befitting burial.

However, in a statement issued on Monday, the Anlo Traditional Council said the arrangements as mentioned in the statement are an affront to the customs and traditions of the Anlo people.

According to the Council, the late president was a chief of the Anlo state and must be buried in accordance with the traditions and customs of the Anlo people.

The Council therefore appealed to President Akufo-Addo to ensure that the right thing is done.

Investigative journalist, Manasseh Azure Awuni has defended President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo amid the alleged bribe saga being propagated by NDC affiliates on social media.

In a long epistle on Facebook, Manasseh wrote;

His rights were violated by whoever filmed him without his consent. He was not engaged in any criminal or illegal act so you cannot justify this in any court of law.

The video being shared shows that someone contributed money and T-shirts to support his campaign, but you’re telling us that he took a bribe as a president.

(If you want to raise issues with political party funding, we can discuss that. And it’s not limited to only one party).

But this is a new low. You know deep in your heart that you’re lying, so who do you think should believe your lies?

We must hold our leaders accountable when they go wrong, but it is also our duty to protect them when they become victims of malicious propaganda. If you gloat today because it happened to your political opponent, it will one day happen to you.

What you’re doing is counterproductive to the political cause you seek to promote. It will turn decent minds and sympathetic hearts away from the party. The biggest mistake a political party can make is to assume that ALL the voters are stupid.

Anybody can do anything to achieve a political goal, but I believe we are all answerable to a supernatural being. And we will all pay or be paid for what we do here on earth before we exit this unpredictable stage called life.

Mind your ways, for you may never have the chance to say sorry.
