Augustus Andrews Nana Kwasi, Ashanti Regional Chairman of the Opposition National Democratic Congress has dared Chairman Bernard Antwi Bosiako(Wontumi), Ashanti regional chairman of the ruling NPP to come and arrest COP Kofi Boakye if he is really a man.
According to him, Chairman Wontumi has no locus to place retired Commissioner of Police (COP) Nathan Kofi Boakye, under citizen’s arrest.
“Enough of your empty threats and childish politicking , these barbaric political gimmicks wouldn’t work in Ashanti region because Ashantis are discerning. ” Chairman Nana Kwasi angrily told newsmen today.
According to Wontumi, COP Kofi Boakye, reportedly an integral part of security preparations of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), is engaged in training members of the opposition to cause disturbances in the Ashanti Region during the upcoming December election.
“… Kofi Boakye, if there is any disturbance here, we will hold you responsible. This place belongs to us. You were lobbying for the IGP position in an NPP government, and today you are the one training NDC mercenaries to perpetrate violence. I am going to deal with you. I am stronger than you, I will deal with you, Kofi Boakye.
“If you meet Kofi Boakye anywhere, arrest him and bring him to me on citizen’s arrest. I will hand him over to the police… We have a lot of things we can do, but we won’t do them. However, if he goes little, we will go bigger.
This is a strong warning,” he stated during an interview on his Wontumi radio on Wednesday, September 18, 2024.
His statement was in reaction to a nationwide demonstration held by the NDC on Tuesday to press the Electoral Commission for a forensic audit of the voter register ahead of the December 7, general elections.”
This has gingered the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NDC to issue a straight warning to the NPP chairman not to joke with the NDC because NDC is a serious political party and is focused to win power so his empty threats on NDC members and it sympathizers won’t be tolerated.
