Former Ghana's High Commissioner to India, Sam Pee Yalley says until the security agencies delve deep into the Otiko Djaba and Bugri Naabu verbal altercation and bring closure to the matter, the Gender Minister will forever remain a murderer in his (Yalley's) eyes.
Otiko and the Northern Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bugri Naabu has been in the media following their vicious trading of accusations and counter-accusations which started on Friday, May 5, 2017, after the former reportedly met the party's women organizers in the Northern Region without the consent of the latter.
The Gender Minister alleged that Bugri Naabu engages in corrupt activities by collecting monies, goats, cows and other things from people with a promise of getting them the School Feeding programme job.
However, Bugri Naabu denied the allegations and accused her and the Upper East Regional Minister, Rockson Bukari of plotting to kill the late NPP’s Upper East regional chairman, Adams Mahama.
The two leading figures were subsequently hauled before the National Executive Council of the party, reprimanded for their actions and made to render an unqualified apology for their public gaffe.
According to Otiko she reacted to Bugri Naabu’s comments against her because, she felt disrespected.
“Because I am a woman he feels he can bully me...but I apologise to all Ghanaians for what happened,” she said.
Bugri Naabu on the otherhand described the allegation as a ‘slip of tongue’ but apologized nonetheless to Rockson Bukari, for suggesting that he connived with others to murder Adams Mahama.
Portions of his apology letter said “I write to sincerely and unreservedly retract wholly my comments about your client (Rockson Bukari) in an interview I granted Accra-based Radio XYZ. I note, most regrettably that those rather unfortunate comments have since Monday 8th May, 2017, gained wide publicity and may have implications for an ongoing trial in the High Court.”
But commenting on these happenings, Sam Pee Yalley strongly indicaed that until investigations are conducted to exonerate Otiko Djaba, she still remains a murderer in his mind.
“…until this matter is settled Otiko Djaba will remain in my mind as a murderer forever…I do not think that apology can erase the allegation of murder. It is in the interest of both Otiko and Bugri Naabu to face an enquiry to clear their name…” Sam Pee Yalley said during a panel discussion on Radio Gold’s Alhaji and Alhaji, Saturday.

until investigations are conducted to exonerate the Death of Atta Mills i still beleive that John Mahama is a murderer in my mine
So Mr yalley, you are more intelligent than the investigators, prosecutors, judges and jury who have put someone in court right. And I thought you were innocent until proven guilty. Soif Mr yalley has anything to prove that Otiko is a murderer, what is stopping him to go to court to provide that evidence. Massa if you dont have anything better to say please keep your mouth shut.
Some of these NDC people are simply f000o0lish..... That is why they are in opposition where they fit best. We should not allow these selfish NDC greedy bas.ta...rds to rule this country again.
SAM PEE YALLEY AND HER SEUAL ADVENTURES. CHAMA!!!!! JEMIMA YALLEY. NDC IS CRAWLING WITH OAFS
Some lawyers are making a mockery of the legal profession. Following the statement made by Bugri Naabu and its subsequent retraction, I expected Sam Pee Yalley to be circumspect in his utterances. I will suggest Otiko Djaba institutes a legal action against him to prove. How do you attach murder a felong to an innocent person. And Sam Pee Yalley you call yourself a LAWYER. Tweeaaa.
Who has forgotten Jemima Yalley and the role Sam P. Yalley and family played in castigating a former Vice President Arkah. Sam P Yalley has always been an opportunist so please leave him to his calling. He would soon fall by his own sword
Hello My Sam Pee Yalley. I trust you just have to feel disappointed in yourself when you listen back to your own words. Please where did your level-headedness go on this occasion? You have somehow always managed to exhibit good culturedness than this. What has happened to you after December 2016? Please, never again. Do not sink yourself such low.
What prevents you to take the matter to court? Members of NDC sees nothing good with whatever NPP does. NDC was not bold enough to expose any of their members who misbehaved when they were in government.
Innocent until proven guilty principle is a cornerstone of justice anyone who says otherwise is uncivilized
So Sam Pee Yalley is now saying "one is guilty until proven innocent" instead of the other way round. These politician lawyers will always turn the face of what they learn in the classroom to favour their political persuasion. Because Otiko is your opponent, you are saying that the onus lies on her to prove that she is not a murderer and not the one is who is alleging. It is sad for these people to be role models for young and upcoming ones. A public interest lawyer indeed.
