The Government of Ghana has explained why the former bodyguard of President Nana Akufo-Addo, Nana Wireko Addo got access to the premises of the Osu Castle; a former seat of government.
A Joy news investigative piece put together by ace journalist Manasseh Azure, titled “Militia in the heart of the Nation” revealed the training of a group allegedly affiliated to the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) at the Osu Castle.
The group called De-Eye allegedly gives training to men and women to provide security and other services according to their website; which according to checks is currently inactive.
Minister of Information Kojo Oppong Nkrumah in a statement said Nana Wireko Addo, the founder of the group was initially given access to the Osu Castle as a member of government task-force assigned to retrieve state vehicles and other properties from former government appointees.
According to him, Nana Wireko Addo was “assigned an office there (Osu Castle) to work with a task force to retrieve landed properties and vehicles in the possession of officials of the erstwhile Mahama Administration” however, he later converted his office into “a private business office for the stated purposes of his company (De-Eye group).
The Minister of Information further admitted that "this (using Osu Castle for his private business) should not have been allowed to happen in the first place"

HMMMMMMMMM I THOUGHT HON. K. OPPONG NKRUMAH WAS ASKING THE INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALIST- AWUNI AZURE MANASSEH TO APOLOGISE TO NPP AND NANA ADOO? WHY IS THIS FINE GENTLEMEN DOING THIS IN THE NAME OF NANA ADDO? U CAN ALWAYS LIE BUT CANT DEFEND UR PREVIUOS LIES ANY-LONGER, MANASSEH THANK GOD FOR EXPOSING THIS CORRUPT AND DECEITFUL NANA AND NPP GOVERNMENT... NDC BEBA....
This is rather the reason you are very stupiiiiiid as a Ghanaian. Our country is just in trouble with individuals like your type.
What has your De Eye got to do with Sampson. The man is doing his work. Shame on you. Sampson and manasseh and the entire joyfm crew were doing same to ndc when npp was in opposition, and you guys were so happy. Today they continue in their work to show their neutrality and you guys are growing crazy. Asem oo!
Oh Kojo Oppong Nkrumah. such a fine gentleman being hurriedly destroyed by the selfishness and wickedness of a classified tyrant of a president . Nana Addo please stop putting the future of Oppong Nkrumah in des repute by turning him into a liar. Please be content with what you have done to Bawumia. He has lost credibility entirely
Ghanaians have come to know that every blunder this Akofo Addo's government commits is explained away using Mahama's name. We await the day that all your lies will finish.
Mr Nkrumah, you were a fine gentleman back at Joy FM but with the environment you find yourself now, you credibility and neutrality is seriously questionable.Politics in the contemporary world is not good for true and serious people who want to please their Maker because the world over have sidelined God in the affairs of man and rather entrenched the devil's rulership and so it is extremely difficult for mortal man who finds himself in governance to speak the truth.
this is the reason why I respect npp and it government so much, at least they did not look at us in the face and lied to us. That is a mark of a matured government who respect the citizens, ndc would have denied and made a mess out of this drop in an ocean issue by insulting the intelligence of the people
Now you are screaming all over the place when asked to taste a drop of what you used to feed us in barrels at joy!!! HYPOCRITE!!
Oh Please. This statement is even more indicting. You have all the state apparatus and cannot monitor the security of the populace? Why are you then in power. We should not support the wrong things blindly.
Samson has succeeded in making - NewsFile programme very boring and u.s.ele.s.s. I switched off about your unfathomed biases and useful analysis. Even your questions are tainted with hate for NPP
