Audio Attachment:Listen to the leaked tape of Samuel Ofosu Ampofo |
National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Mr. Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, has been officially charged by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service.
Speaking in a telephone interview with Peacefmonline.com, Public Relations Officer for the Police CID, DSP Juliana Obeng, disclosed two other executives of the opposition party, Mr. Sammy Gyamfi and Mr. Kwaku Boahen, National Communications Officer and Deputy Communications Officer, respectively, have also been charged by the police.
"They have all been charged with conspiracy to commit crime with kidnapping intent and conspiracy to commit crime with threat of harm," she said.
Consequently, she added, the duo have been asked to "cease" reporting themselves to the CID headquarters.
The Police CID, it would be recalled, extended a formal invitation to the NDC National Chairman to assist with investigations in a leaked audio that captures him allegedly conspiring with party members to harm political opponents and also inciting supporters to attack certain officials including the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission.
The police have said some of Ofosu Ampofo’s comments have implications on national security.
"Fake, Doctored & Illegal Espionage"
Already, the NDC has said the tape is "doctored" and "fake".
The opposition party's initial comments were that its offices had been bugged following the circulation of the recordings and accused the government of engaging in illegal espionage.
Sammy Gyamfi, told Neat FM's Akwasi Aboagye, in an interview on the ‘Ghana Montie’ Morning Show, in the last week of February, that the NPP with the help of state security have planted secret recording devices in some offices at their head office to monitor their proceedings.
“This is against the law. This is undemocratic,” he said.
4 Charges
Samuel Ofosu Ampofo was initially slapped with four charges over the explosive audio recording.
He was facing charges of "threat of harm, conspiracy to commit harm, rioting and assaulting a public officer".
Background
A leaked audio purported to be the voice of the NDC’s National Chairman, caused shock waves among the public after it went viral nearly a month ago.
The leaked tape which is believed to be from a meeting held at the NDC’s headquarters days after the infamous Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election violence, captures leading members of the opposition party allegedly planning strategies the NDC will use to regain power in 2020.
Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo, who could be heard speaking to some party members without equivocation, noted the NDC will target lives of NPP members in 2020 since state security cannot protect them.
According to him, another delicate aspect to win the 2020 election is targeting the EC Chairperson, Madam Jean Mensa.
”We must wage a relentless war on this EC Chair, me she doesn’t want to see my face . . .” he told the party gathering.

THE ACT ACTION OF SO CALLED ELDER OFOSU AMPOFO OF CHURCH OF PENTECOST PROVED THAT THE TEACHING OF CHURCH OF PENTECOST IS NOT OF GOD RATHER SATANIC TEACHIINGS. AS AN ELDER, HE MUST DEMOSTRATE OF SHOWING GOOD LEADERSHIP AND EXAMPARY LIFE. BUT THIS IS CASE WHERE AN ELDER IS PROVOKING WAR AND CRIMINAL DISBURBANCS IN OUR COUNTRY.DO YOU THINK GOD WILL BE HAPPY? STILL THE CHURCH OF PENTECOST IS SUBSTAINING ELDER OFOSU AMPOFO AS AN ELDER. THIS IS MORE THAN SHAME TO THE WHOLE CHURCH AND I WWISH GHANAIANS SHOULD STOP GOING TO THAT CHURCH.
Yes. It is easier for you to deal with the elder of a church than double
The comedies of nana addo administration continues unabated. Someone's leg is shot and his bones scattered, not even a mouse had been arrested and charged, but a so called leaked tape is basis for another person who has not caused any harm to nobody to be charged. The lawyers of ofosu ampofo should make reference to the CID boss's own leaked tape and they address their case. The irony of the world. Someone caught on leaked tape holding allegiance to the president is the one charging another for leaked tape. COMEDIES GALORE!
Much Ado about nothing. So far us the police refuse to investigate & prosecute the leaders of De-Eye Vigilante Group which operated right under their nose this case won't yield any positive conviction
THE GHANA POLICE SHOULD ENSURE THAT THIS CASE PROCEED TO COURT TO DEAL WITH THIS MAN WHO IS ALSO AN ELDER OF CHURCH OF PENTECOST. IT IS VERY UNFORTUNATE. AN ELDER WHO CAN MANUFACTURE SUCH A DIABOLIC PLAN TO KIDNAP AND MAKE PEOPLES LIFE UNCOMFORTABLE. WITH WHAT SAMUEL OFOSU AMPOFO HAS DONE, HE SHOULD MARK MY WORDS GOD WILL DEAL SEVERELY WITH HIM. YOU CANNOT USE GOD'S NAME FOR YOUR DIABOLICAL SELFISH INTEREST. SAMUEL OFOSU AMPOFO GOD WILL SURELY DEAL WITH YOU.
