Editor in Chiet of the New Crusading Guide newspaper, Kweku Baako Jnr is claiming per video evidence in the hands of security agencies, the suspects of the alleged coup plot were planning on kidnapping President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and his vice, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
Kweku Baako who has had the privilege of watching the surveillance videos said the suspects can be seen manufacturing weapons they can use to achieve their purpose.
“They talk of exploding these things…They contemplated on how to kidnap Akufo-Addo and Bawumia and take over the state and manage the country. In my view this is not one of the fakes. There has been fakes before but this is not one of them…” he revealed during a panel discussion on Joy News file programme, Saturday.
Charges
So far the three suspects who have been arrested appeared in court and were charged with conspiracy to commit crime as well as illegally manufacturing firearms and explosives.
Many critics are wondering why the government are throwing in a coup plot yet the charges are stating something different.
In reaction, Kweku Baako said: “I will be disappointed if charges of treason are not preferred subsequently with what we are going through because of what I know and what I’ve seen; it will not be in the national interest. Let the court decide whether they are guilty or not guilty but the evidence available to the state eventually; and it should be sooner than later be put before the court”
Background
Government announced a planned attack on the Jubilee House was detected and foiled by a combined team of CID and BNI operatives some few days ago.
Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, in a statement detailing how the suspects and their operations were busted, said the whole plot was targeted at the presidency; with the ultimate aim of destabilizing the country.
“The persons arrested are Dr. Frederick Yao Mac-Palm and his two accomplices – Mr. Ezor Kafui (a local weapon manufacturer) and Mr. Bright Allan Debrah Ofosu (aka BB or ADC)”, the statement issued Monday, September 23 said.

Sometimes I just shudder to think...are we serious as a country at all.. a complete cock and bull story being thrown at us
It is sad when some people talk as if it is impossible for someone to stage a coup in this country. Do you know Busia's gov't was over throne? It was like some jokes, but it really happened. But the way, have asked of what a hospital will be keeping arms, materials for manufacturing arms and others for? Were they going to use them to treat patients or what? Why, have forgotten of Ofosu Ampofo's tape so soon? Look, you can't imagine what these NDC people can do. For me, I think the security should have kept the issue behind the scenes in order not to scare investors and potential investors. But rather deal squarely with the perpetrators, like Rawlings used to do in the past, (fast you are off). If you feel the govt's policies are not good for you, just wait for the Good People of Ghana to decide at the right time.
We are a country of jokers. If we believe these people can kidnap our president and overthrow the gov't, then I should change my nationality quickly. We are not serious at all.
This is really serious and must be addressed properly. God help our homeland Ghana.
thank God for the exposure of this evil plot.even if we want to rubbish this don't we get worried for the fact that guns have been manufactured and found?all these same people will be singing insecurity insecurity when we hear of gun shoots.so why are we not happy for the fact that guns have been found and seized.or is it that those mocking it know something about the plot and want to make it ***barred word*** case in the eyes of the public for public sympathy?God bless us all.

BENTUA COUP HAHAHAHAHAHAH
Its all distraction from failed policies and government's inability to provide for its citizenry. When a government fails to provide jobs, safety and security amidst massive corruption, they turn to something else to distract the population.The ***barred word*** brigade of the npp and ndc has destroyed ghana. the country's foreign currency reserve is depleted. imports exceed exports. the results, massive debt. no excess money to give out loans for local business initiatives. massive youth unemployment. cry baby cry. coup plot? a big hoax.
