The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Yaw Obimpeh, has alleged that the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) was training mercenaries and arming them in neighbouring Ivory Coast.
The motive, he said was to use them to disrupt the 2016 elections and cause mayhem if they were to lose the elections.
Addressing a campaign launch of Mr Samuel Sarpong, the NDC’s parliamentary candidate for Nhyiaeso in Kumasi, Mr Obimpeh though he had informed President John Mahama about the ploy, he was urging residents in the Ashanti Region to be on the lookout.
This is because very soon the mercenaries will arrive and stay in the region from where they will launch their attack, he alleged.
He said because the security agencies recently unravelled that the NPP had brought in three South African security experts to train people on how to handle arms to ostensibly destabilise the country and deported them, they have resorted to training mercenaries in Ivory Coast.

Commander one invite this thing and interrogate him for his Childish and cheap talk, he even said he know their names and have their pix so let him give u those pic and names unless u tell Ghanaians that the law is not for NDC but only NPP's. No one is above the law and obimpeh must face the law for those cheap politics
I THOUGHT OBIMPE IS A BIG WIG IN THE NDC PARTY. I THINK HE IS BEHAVING LIKE A CHILD. WHY THIS LOOSE TALK. IF HE HIMSELF SAYS HE HAS GIVEN THE LEAD TO THE PRESIDENT WHY SHOULD HE COME PUBLIC? DOES HE NOT TRUST THE PRESIDENT TO ACT. FOR GODS SAKE THE NDC IS IN POWER BUT SOMETIMES SOME OF THEM WHO SHOULD KNOW BETTER ACT LIKE NOVICE. I CANT THINK FAR. I THINK HE MUST BE INVITED AT ONCE.WHAT IS THIS.
COP Kofi Boakye must please and immediately invite this man for interrogation as Bugri Naabu was invited by the Northern Regional Police Commander asap!
HOW COULD YOU,,, OBIMPEH???? OKRO MOUTH. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU. YOU DIVULGE CLASSIFIED INFORMATION ON A CAMPAIGN PLATFORM JUST LIKE THAT. WE HAVE TRAILED THOSE MECS ALL THESE MONTHS AND CAN LINK THEIR ACTIVITIES TO CERTAIN INCIDENTS IN THE PAST, AND SO FAR WE HAVE MANAGED TO HAVE A LEAD. BUT THIS YOUR OKRO MOUTH.... DO YOU WANT TO SPOIL THE SHOW???? WHEN THERE IS MORE LEVERAGE AT OUR DISPOSAL,,, AND FOR YOUR INFORMATION,, OR IF ONE OF THEM IS ON THIS PLATFORM,,,, WE WILL CRUSH YOU AND YOUR PAY MASTERS... AND CROWN IT TO THE PRESIDENT'S VICTORY..., OBIMPEH,,,APOLOGIZE TO THE PRESIDENT IMMEDIATELY.
and because the Ivorian government is crazy they will watch the opposition of a neighbouring to train mercenaries on their soil. So that if there is mayhem in Ghana the violence can spill over...sometimes i wonder how you NDC functionaries think or may be you just assume Ghanaians are ***barred word*** in general and dont know what we are about. Anyway, I blame Ghanaians for leaving the Republic in your hands.
loose talk
Please our security agency should vinvite this man for question.
THE ASHANTI REGIONAL POLICE COMMANDER SHOULD INVITE THIS MORON CHAIRMAN WHO IS ONLY INTERESTED IN COLLECTING MORE MONEY FROM HIS EXCELLENCY PRESIDENT MAHAMA FOR CAMPAIGN ACTIVITIES ONLY TO SPEND ON HIS NUMEROUS WOMEN AND BOOZE. OUR CAMPAIGN IS FAILING IN THE ASHANTI REGION BIG TIME AND OUR LEADERS ARE NOW LOOKING FOR EXCUSES BY HEIGHTENING THE POLITICAL TEMPERATURE UNNECESSARILY. WHO WILL BELIEVE THIS COCK AND BULL STORY ANYWAY.AOO NDC THE GREAT WHERE DID WE GO WRONG. !!!!
I hope the IGP and police in Kumasi have heard this one too. Or because he is an NDC member the law doesn't apply? The law under Mahama and Kudalor are only made for NPP people huh? We are watching!
Your people in the Ashanti Region are saying that your campaign is failing and you are talking about mercenaries so you and Mahama will have a good reason to bring soldiers from so region to intimidate the people of Ashanti Region. The same thing happened in 2000 but it didn't work our for NDC. Remember Alhaji Issifu Ali the Co-Chair of NDC at the time, created an 'impending military coup by NPP which he said was uncovered on the internet'.
