An Accra High Court hearing the case of Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, National Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has adjourned it to May 16, 2019.
Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo appeared in Court on Tuesday over a leaked tape involving him in the company of his lawyers: Abraham Amaliba, Tony Lithur, Dominic Ayine and Edudzi Tamakloe, as well as some kingpins of the NDC including former President and Presidential Candidate of the NDC, John Mahama.
The Chairman has been charged with conspiracy to cause harm and assault against a Public Officer. He is being charged alongside a Deputy National Communication officer of the party, Kwaku Boahen.
The two were previously charged by the Police for conspiracy to commit crime to wit, kidnapping and conspiracy to commit crime to wit, threat of harm.
Speaking on Okay FM's 'Ade Akye Abia' programme, a member of the legal team for Mr. Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo, Lawyer Edudzi Tamakloe explained that the charges against them have however been amended whilst charges against Sammy Gyamfi, National Communication Officer of the party have been dropped.
The Attorney General's Department have revealed that four fresh charges have been preferred against the National Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr. Samuel Ofosu-Ampofo and Deputy National Communications Officer, Kwaku Boahen.
The two are facing four charges, three for the National Chairman and one for Kweku Boahen.
Background
A leaked audio purported to be the voice of Mr Ofosu-Ampofo in a meeting with NDC communicators had him saying: “We’re going to take her [Chairperson of the Electoral Commission] to the cleaners.”
“As for the EC Chair, we must wage a relentless war on this EC Chair. Me, she doesn’t want to see my face,” Mr Ofosu-Ampofo is alleged to have said.
In the audio, he also gave his blessing to the party communicators to insult the Most Rev. Professor Emmanuel Asante, the Chairman of the National Peace Council.
“For the first time, I’ll endorse insulting the National Peace Council Chair,” he said.
The alleged meeting between Mr Ofosu-Ampofo and NDC communicators was aimed at planning strategies ahead of the 2020 general election.
When the issue of the leaked tape went viral, the NDC described it as concocted and false.

THE FOOOOOLS LED BY STUPIIIIIIID MAHAMA
The evil man do lives after him. We have only one Ghana and we will not allow one person's selfish interest to put this country into flames. The laws of Ghana is no respecter of people/persons. This is not NDC and NPP issue. This is about our mother land Ghana. As party Chairman and an elder, did Ofosu Ampofo think before he open his mouth? He is trying to satisfy his boss Mahama who wanted to come to power again at all cost. But in sha Allah, he will not succeed by the grace and mercy of Alah. Allah love Ghana and the people of Ghana so he will not allow such an incompetent and corrupt leader to rule Ghana again. Ameen Thuma Ameen.
Masa masa don't bring yourself. If other cases were not sent to court it does not mean we should ignore this? Nobody asked to go and make those pronouncements.
Nyantekye is walking a free man. Even Fifa finished their investigation long ago and has banned him but government is here looking for unnecessary issues to engage itself with. Shame on u people.
You people will eventually live independently in your landlocked space since you are intolerant of the rest of Ghanaians. You are TRIBAL BIGOTS and worse than the word EVIL.
Total waste of time and resources. I think this government has lost focus and are just talking, talking and doing very little. They think sending this noble man of God to court will save them? What is in that so called doctored tape that we have not heard before? let get serious in this country. You can't even protect your citizens from rains. shame shame on you NPP.
MASTER, I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT I DON'T GO AFTER SCALLYWAGS LIKE YOU. YOU DON'T FIT MY SHOE NOT TO TALK OF MY COAT. YOU CAN NOT MAKE ANY MEANINGFUL AND BETTER COMMENT OR CONTRIBUTION TO DISCOURSE. ALL THAT YOU IS TO INSULT PEOPLE WHO PASS THEIR COMMENT. SI*LLY IDI*OT
A f00*00l has a name 123 are you scared of Kennedy Agyepong? if he did anything wrong send him to court. Were you ndc nit the same people who were mocking him when in BNI cells he called for his diabetes medication? didn't you vindictive f00*00ls who think you are above the laws of Ghana so nobody can do you foko send him to court and the court acquitted and discharged him if you hard a case why was he discharged? listen and understand that not everyone will follow your st*upidity like your followers are doing, the laws of the land is no respecter of persons so if you play the f00*00l you sent to the court and only the court has the ultimate decision! ndc Get reasonable and learn lessons from your mistakes else you will be like this till thy kingdom come!
Aluta kwase*a did Nana Addo tell you idi*ots to make those pronouncements? has the NPP not been in opposition before and did you hear any kidnapping and killing of Ghanaians? look at their wicked and cruel faces in court, God is gradually destroying ndc. God has hardend the hearts if these unrepentant kriminals like he did to King Herold when the end is coming the most easiest thing to say which is "SORRY" becomes the most difficult to say the arrogance and impunity rise too high to the sky that you see yourself as the only thing on earth and that is what has happened to the ndc. Ndc think because of their dumb followers who will glorify their st*upidity and follow them to their damn graves they can do whatever but the laws of this land will show them ndc came around 1992 but our country has existed before the colonial rule so we will never allow people who do not know how this country existed to destroy it. They may not even have any family member in the struggle for this country but they want to destroy it, we will never give you the chance. We will defend and protect Ghana to succeed and Ghana's existence has been on a union like the America which if you feel uncomfortable can address by secession no intimidation no war just go to the UN and the Commonwealth to seek redress! We are tired of you!
NDC tolerated all the ***barred word*** from NPP when they were in power. Now see what is happening? Kennedy Agyepong is walking free of charge after all the assault on former EC Chair. What is so special about Jean Mensa?
