Abubakar Yakubu, popularly known as Baba Amando, a Sunyani East NPP Communications Team member, has boldly issued a threat to President John Dramani Mahama that he will one day pay.

According to Baba Amando, a travesty of Justice has happened regarding his case.

Baba Amando, whilst being escorted back into prison custody, boldly declared, “Travesty of Justice has happened, JB Danquah gave his life for this country, I am not better than him. President Mahama will pay someday; God is greater than him. Travesty of Justice has happened”.

Some Ghanaians reacting to his remarks stated, “Kwasia kwa se president will pay someday you are fooling and with this ur silly false publication and you think we will entertain this foolish attitude in Ghana, right fools”.

“My friend, whose interests are you serving and for what rewards? Why are some of you northerners and Ewes tarnishing your images? Why are the owners of that party not talking, but you people? There is something wrong with you people. You will pay dearly, not JM”, a netizen added.

One X user added, “Did God and JB Danquah send that guy to go and post nonsense that breaks the law? Let’s use our heads oo”.

“When power 4gets its limits, it begins 2 fear accountability. Those who write the laws sometimes convince demselves dey re above them until consequences come knocking,& suddenly justice is painted as persecution. But truth doesn’t change its nature just bcoz it becomes inconvenient”, an X user added.

Baba Amando commnets comes after he was remanded into custody for two weeks.

Reports suggest Baba Amando was remanded by an Accra Circuit Court on charges including offensive conduct, false publication, and the circulation of statements likely to incite fear and panic.

He was remanded to custody for two weeks to allow prosecutors to conduct forensic investigations.

Also, NPP MP Baffour Awuah launches a scathing attack on the judge in the Baba Amando case.

Baffour Awuah, who is also the Member of Parliament for Manhyia South, criticised the judge hearing the matter, Justice Kunza, who remanded his client for two weeks.

The lawyer accused the judge of being partisan, suggesting that his actions showed that he was a member of the ruling NDC.

Speaking to the media after the proceedings, “I am in my 16 years of practice, I’ve never publicly criticised a judge. Never, it is never my practice. It’s not something I want to do. I am always reluctant. I defend the judiciary. But in this instance, I think that Justice Joseph Kunzu, very respectfully, the only thing different from him is that he’s not wearing an NDC flag or paraphernalia. That is the only thing that distinguishes him from a member of the NDC.

“This is so bad. I’ve never seen it before a judge. Look, let me restrain myself. It’s so bad. Never, in my own 16 years, I’ve never, ever criticised a judge. But I’ve seen a judge who the only difference between himself and a member of the NDC is that he’s not clad in an NDC flag,” he fumed.

He added, “A judge is supposed to be an independent-minded person. I’m so surprised. The only thing which is different, which distinguishes him from a member of the NDC, is that, sitting there, he was in a wig and gown. That is the only thing that distinguishes him.”
