Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi has accused Former President John Dramani Mahama and Chairman of the biggest opposition party (NDC) in Ghana, for masterminded the killing of the two police officers at Kasoa Buduburam on Wednesday 28th August, 2019.

According to the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP, because of the bad image the National Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress want to create for the Akufo-Addo led administration, it has motivated some individuals to take the laws into their own hands.

He said that “bad boys” now feel they can kill any police person they exchange words with because “losers” John Mahama, Ofosu Ampofo and the NDC have made it seem like it is not unlawful.

“Because of the reckless talk, reckless decisions, reckless comments has influenced and motivated Ghanaians to kill police officers. Ghana must rise to arrest Ofosu Ampofo, Ghana police must rise to arrest him to stop all these things. NPP and NDC were once family but because John Mahama too has been President before and can never win an election again he has urged his people to kill police officers. Are we at war? Are we in America?”, he quizzed.

“Why must we kill ourselves because of John Mahama and Ofosu Ampofo when we are in our country? The police must give me a 24-hour contract to arrest Ofosu Ampofo. He said this on AshFM’s Boiling Point show in Kumasi.

 

Kiilling of Police officers in Ghana has become a normal thing for armed robbers with the recent one involving two police officers discharging their duties at Kasoa Buduburam. Sergeant Gyamasi and Lance Corporal Mohammed Awal met their untimely death after they stopped a Toyota Camry driver for questioning but he sped off.

The two police officers gave the driver of the Camry a hot chase which after sometime the driver of the Camry stopped. The two policemen accosted the occupants of the vehicle but in an attempt to arrest them, one of them shrugged the police off, went and picked a pistol from the car and shot the two officers.

Mr Wontumi has linked that the recent killing of Police officers and kidnappings in the country to Chairman Ampofo because of a leak tape believed to have captured the NDC Chair inciting his party members against the public to paint NPP government black.

 

Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo, who could be heard speaking to some party members without equivocation, noted the NDC will target lives of NPP members in 2020 since state security cannot protect them.

According to him, another delicate aspect to win the 2020 election is targeting the EC Chairperson, Madam Jean Mensa.

But after being arrested by the police, the NDC Chaiman was granted bail over kidnapping allegations leveled against him.

Chairman Wontumi believes Ofosu Ampofo’s “thoughtless” talks may somehow have incensed people’s violent side and led to the killing two officers of the Motor Transport and Traffic Directorate (MTTD) of the Service, Sergeant Michael Dzamesi and Lance Corporal Mohammed Awal while on operational duties.
