Listowell Nana Poku, a prominent figure in the pressure group Arise Ghana, claims that some “powerful” members of the ruling New Patriotic Party are manipulating the Ghana Police Service (NPP).
On Ghana Montie’s morning broadcast on NEAT FM, he was adamant that news releases from the police department are being written for the police for political purposes.
“I can tell you for a fact that they (the police) don’t write their statements, we know. It’s from some unseen hands,” he claimed.
When challenged to identify those “unseen hands” by the host Mac Jerry Osei Agyemang, Listowell Nana Poku mentioned the president and a few prominent NPP members.
“Gabby is a suspect, Akufo-Addo [the president] is also a suspect, Osafo Marfo is another suspect and Ofori-Atta [the finance minister] is also a suspect. These are the people looting from the public purse without any accountability,” he courageously claimed
Listowell made this outlandish statement after the police announced that the Arise Ghana demonstration’s organizers will be detained for their involvement in the events of Tuesday, June 28, 2022.
“The organisers of the demonstration will be arrested and put before court for the attacks and damage to public property, in line with the provisions of Section 3 of the Public Order Act, (Act 491),” part of the statement read.
A bloody altercation overshadowed the Arise Ghana march, which was meant to be a protest against the worsening economic conditions in Ghana.
Several stories claim that the confusion regarding the best route caused the chaos to break out.
