A car belonging to the wife of former National Organizer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Yaw Boateng Gyan has been allegedly seized by government taskforce.
According to reports, the BMW 7 series registered in 2016 was snatched last Friday from a mechanic's garage in Accra.
Mr. Boateng Gyan confirmed this unfortunate incident on Asempa FM Tuesday.
He said his wife who is a retired Prison Officer sent the car for servicing when three soldiers, two policemen and two civilians stormed the mechanic shop for the car.
The NDC man said they claim the car looked like a government vehicle thus are taking it to the Castle.
He said at the Castle, which has become the den of an illegal car-seizing syndicate, a transport officer whose name he was not told, asked the mechanic to go home and fetch the original documents of the car.
Mr. Boateng Gyan who was then in the Brong Ahafo region said he rushed home and gave the documents to the mechanic as instructed.
After scrutiny of the documents by the taskforce, he said taskforce gave the vehicle back to the young man on Monday, February 13, 2016.
Wofa Boateng Gyan however expressed worry about the manner the taskforce is doing their work since criminals can also take advantage of the situation.
He called on President Akufo-Addo who believes in the rule of law to ensure the right things are done according to law.

The government can only seize cars, get to see the documents and return the cars when necessary. Is there another way out? How unlawful can that be ? In every country when a search becomes necessary for anything, that's what is done. Is there a law that will force criminals to surrender stolen vehicles? What the government is doing is purely lawful. Was Gyan's wife arrested, beaten or whatever? Just give the good people of Ghana a break!
A retired prisons officer is using a BMW 7 Series??? Politics is by far the most lucrative biz in Ghana today

where is Rev Martey, Prof Addae, and all those who were loudest in criticizing the NDC. Today in Ghana, there is a Govt sanctioned task force that that finds people already guilty of car-***barred word*** and confiscate a persons property until that person proofs himself innocent. Everyone is quiet because the NPP angels are doing it to the NDC devils. We live to see
