The Residence of former Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Martin Alamisi Benz-Kaiser Amidu, was last Thursday bugled by unknown persons. The former AG, who has earned an enviable accolade of �Citizen Vigilante,� had his house broken into deep in the night. Fortunately for him, nothing significant was taken away. The only items allegedly stolen by the intruders were two cushion covers on the sofa in front of his house and an abandoned old car battery. Interestingly, the burglary in Mr. Amidu�s house was carried out on the same day he took some precautionary security measures to fortify the frontage of the fence wall of his house. He had supervised masons to demolish some flower pots near the wall because they (flower pots) made it appear susceptible to break-in. Mr. Amidu has since lodged a formal complainant with the Madina police for investigations. The Citizen Vigilante had in the past publicly stated his suspicion of the state�s deliberate attempt to intimidate him over his fight against corruption. Since he took up the fight against payment of fraudulent judgment debts to certain individuals and corporate institutions, the former Attorney General had lost face with the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government and party supporters. Mr. Amidu therefore suspects possible assassination attempts and State surveillance on him. The former AG is currently at the Supreme Court seeking a judicial review of the Isofoton and Woyome cases.
