Tsatsu Tsikata, a seasoned lawyer, has opened up about an alleged plot to kill him while he was in prison.
According to Tsatsu Tsikata, his wife was told from very dependable quarters that she should not allow me to eat food from the prison because there could be plans to poison him.
Speaking in an interview with JoyNews on April 21, 2026, Tsatsu Tsikata recounted, “Life in prison was sobering in a sense, too, that it enabled me to see what a privileged life I had by God’s grace”.
“And again, an aspect of this, which I can say, even without having asked my wife’s permission… she had been told from a very dependable quarter that she should not allow me to eat in the prison, because there could be some plans around my eating the food regularly from prison,” he disclosed.
He further added, “And this was not just told as a little story or petty gossip. She was told by somebody who knew what he was talking about, and I’m very grateful to that person. I would not mention his name for reasons which, in this country, we should understand. I will not… I will never want to mention it”.
“That’s what we were authoritatively told,” Tsikata responded.
“And so my wife, daily, was determined, whatever her responsibility, she had her own company to run every day, but she brought me food,” he added.
Also, Tsatsu Tsikata described his life journey as a testament to divine purpose.
He added, “Amazing grace, because I mean, standing there being honoured for a lifetime. It’s not been an easy lifetime, even from my asthmatic infancy, through the whole political situation of my trial and imprisonment”.
“I could have been dead, so even a posthumous award wouldn’t have been so exciting. It would have been a bit mournful. So it was exciting for me that I could be alive on that occasion, and amazing grace truly was my abiding emotion.”
“Absolutely. And on that occasion, that’s exactly what I wanted to contribute and communicate.”
He added, “Truly, if I’m being honoured, whatever talents I have are not endowed by myself. I didn’t put those talents in myself. And my ability to stand in court or to give a lecture to my students, as I’ve done over the decade, none of that has been endowed by myself.”
“So I have had a profound sense of gratitude to my maker. And because of my particular experiences, that has been even deeper because, as I’ve often said, God meant it for good.”
Some Ghanaians reacting to Tsatsu Tsikata’s revelations stated, “If oral fails, NDC should prepare as soon as they leave power, cause npp won’t fail to prosecute”.
“Lots of appointees will end up like him if they steal and NPP comes back to power”, a netizen added.
One more X user alleged, “Two Lawyers, #JohnAgyekumKuffour and #NanaAddoDanquahAkuffoAddo conspired to imprison Taatsu Tsikata on a non-existent law, because at the time that he was said to have committed the offence, the Law #Causing Financial Loss didn’t exist. NPP is still engaged in this aberration”.
