The minority leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has disclosed that he does not intend to report NDC National Vice Chairman Chief Sofo Azorka, popularly known as Chairman Azorka, to the police after he openly threatened him.
Chairman Azorka, during the Akwatia by-election, openly threatened Afenyo Markin and attacked the NPP’s Chairman Buga.
He warned Alexander Afenyo-Markin that a by-election would be held in Afenyo-Markin’s constituency if he tried anything.
Speaking to the media, Chief Sofo Azorka stated, “Wallahi, we go do by-election in his hometown.”
“Fiang Fiang, what does he want here? Is he the NDC secretary? You people should talk to them. You are coming to our office to do what? You people are journalists, talk to them, this is not parliament that he will be talking anyhow, here is a freedom field, our eyes are red”, he added.
According to Afenyo-Markin, he intends to wait and see how the Ghana Police Service handles the case, as to whether there is selective justice.
Speaking on Adom TV, Afenyo-Markin stated, “If someone is on social media, writes and posts something, and the Police can arrest him, I expect the police to make an arrest.
I am just watching the police to see if Ghana’s laws are being applied selectively or if they are applied irrespective of who you are. Somebody can write something on social media for the police to arrest that person, and they are even remanded. I am just watching the police”.
He added, “If a whole minority leader, a deputy speaker of the ECOWAS parliament, MP for Effutu, could be threatened openly without the police doing anything about it, every Ghanaian will know how the police react”.
Meanwhile, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has ordered the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno, to immediately arrest and investigate NDC National Vice Chairman Chief Sofo Azorka, popularly known as Chairman Azorka.
The NPP also called for the arrest of NDC’s Abuakwa North Constituency Communications Officer, Abdul Wahab Amadu, for threatening violence and assaulting party officials during the polls.
According to the NPP, such violent conduct by a National Officer of the ruling party and a constituency officer diminishes the gains of Ghana’s democracy.
The NPP statement, signed by NPP General Secretary Justin Frimpong Kodua, stated, “The New Patriotic Party condemns the threats of death against the Minority Leader, Osahen Alexander Afenyo-Markin; the National Organiser, Henry Nana Boakye; and Hon. Frank Annor Dompreh by the 1st National Vice Chairman of the NDC, Chief Sofo Azorka, and Alhaji Abdul Wahab Amadu, the Abuakwa North Constituency communication officer of the NDC.
The Party further condemns the unprovoked physical attack of its 3rd National Vice Chairman, Alhaji Osman Masawudu, by Chief Sofo Azorka and his notorious hoodlums”.
The statement continued, “Such violent conduct by no means a person than a National Officer of the ruling party and a constituency officer diminishes the gains of our democracy and has the potential to create further insecurity in the country in the face of Ghana’s recent decline in the Global Peace Index Ranking.
The Party will formally lodge complaints with the Ghana Police Service against the mentioned individuals.
We are also calling on the Inspector General of Police, as part of his post-election actions, to immediately arrest and investigate Chief Sofo Azorka, Alhaji Abdul Wahab and any other person captured in the videos widely circulated in the media.
The recklessness of the actions of Chief Sofo Azorka and Alhaji Abdul Wahab ought to be properly investigated and punished”.
Additionally, Kofi Ofosu Nkansah, the former Chief Executive Officer of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP), has fired shots at Inspector-General of Police (IGP), COP Christian Tetteh Yohunu.
Ofosu Nkansah criticises IGP Yohunu for being biased in the arrest of NPP members.
According to Kofi Ofosu Nkansah, IGP Christian Tetteh Yohunu is an NDC police officer.
In a Facebook post, the NPP man compared former IGP Dampare and the current IGP Christian Tetteh Yohunu, noting that under Dampare, NPP and NDC were treated equally before the law.
Kofi Ofosu Nkansah wrote, “Under IGP Dampare, people from both parties were arrested when they flouted the law”.
Additionally, Mr Nkansah accused IGP Yohuno of failing to arrest and investigate NDC National Vice Chairman Chief Sofo Azorka, popularly known as Chairman Azorka after he openly threatened Afenyo Markin and attacked NPP’s Chairman Buga.
He added, “IGP Yohunu only arrests and posts NPP suspects on their page. Azorka is still walking free after attacking Buga and threatening others live on TV.
NDC Police, keep it up”.
