Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress [NDC], Koku Anyidoho according to sources, spent the night in BNI cells.
He is expected to be arraigned before court today, Wednesday after Police conclude their investigations.
The NDC capo was handed over to the Bureau of National Investigation (BNI) after he was arrested and charged by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service.
Lawyer of Mr Anyidoho, Victor Adawudu, divulged in an interview on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo' said even though he was informed that his client was being handed over to the BNI, he was not told the reason why.
Reacting to why the charge was changed from causing fear and panic to treason, he said it is evidence that the CID ‘don’t have their facts right’.
“The fact that they moved the charges from causing fear and panic to treason means they don’t have their facts right; they are fishing for something to charge…somebody somewhere is telling them what to do, do this oh don’t do this…” he indicated.
