The National Communication Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Sammy Gyamfi, through his lawyers, has written to the Cybercrime Unit of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service that he will no longer honour its invitations concerning an investigation into alleged forgery and spreading of false information by the member of the biggest opposition party.
In a letter announcing his decision, Mr Gyamfi’s lawyers explained: “The decision to turn down your invitation is purely on the grounds that honouring your invitation especially, when we have misgivings and concerns about how the whole matter has been handled which are a threat to the constitutional rights of our client, will not only prejudice the matters before the court but also have the potential to render such matters moot, which we are not prepared to do due to the respect we have for the judicial authority of the High Court”.
Read the full statement below:
Dear Sir,
REPLY TO INVITATION OF SAMUEL GYAMFI BY THE CYBERCRIME UNIT OF THE CID.
We write as solicitors for and on behalf of Sammy Gyamfi (hereinafter called “Our Client”) on whose instructions we act.
Our client instructs us that he was invited by your officer by name ACP Herbert Yankson, of the Cyber Crime Unit to assist your institution to conduct an investigation based on a complaint allegedly lodged by the Jubilee House on the basis that our client has allegedly indulged in committing the offences of forgery and spreading of false information to cause fear and panic which allegations our client denies strongly.
Based on the invitation by your institution, our client, being a responsible and law-abiding citizen, honoured your invitation on the 23rd day of December 2019 at the Police Headquarters. However, it is instructive to note that while being at the Police Headquarters, we were informed that the meeting could not take place as scheduled because ACP Herbert Yankson intimated that he had other engagements and will be available only after 3 p.m.
Despite the rescheduling of the time, which we only got to know at the Police Headquarters, we still showed the willingness and desire to wait till 3 p.m. but our offer to stay till that time was refused and rescheduled to the 24th of December 2019.
Inasmuch as we wish to honour your invitation due to the respect we have for your institution, our client instructs us that we cannot honour your invitation due to change in circumstances which are that our client has filed an Application for the enforcement of his fundamental human rights at the High Court in relation to the matter being handled by your office and an application for interlocutory injunction which have both been served on you through Evelyn Owusu(Secretary).
The decision to turn down your invitation is purely on the grounds that honouring your invitation especially, when we have misgivings and concerns about how the whole matter has been handled which are a threat to the constitutional rights of our client, will not only prejudice the matters before the court but also have the potential to render such matters moot, which we are not prepared to do so due to the respect we have for the judicial authority of the High Court which we are enjoined including your institution to do so by the 1992 Constitution of Ghana.

I'm happy ndc nonsen*se is not being tolerated but I'm a little bit disappointed in these women giving the opportunity to serve in high profile positions it's like they are scared and don't want to do the right thing every Ghanaian is wishing for! Look at how Nancy Polosi is drilling American presidents who are not from her party from George ***barred word*** to Donald Trump which has made Donald Trump a talking drum and tweeting at the least chance! Ghana has weak women in big positions which should have been occupied by men but I admire the electoral Commissioner Lady Jean Mensa and the Foreign affairs minister Madam Shirley Ayorko Botchway No ***barred word*** ! but for THIS CID Boss and the A-G Gloria Akuffo I vomit ! not not not ! we don't understand why Ofosu Ampofo is still around and not going to court for how long is that going to take and do we need a fast track court to deal with these people? double salary is still hanging around and they are talking and this st*upid boy Sammy Gyamfi had to hack into the government's system? and all Tiwaa could do is to invite ! nons*ense and ndc think by doing that they could hack into the electoral system in 2020 to rig they lie bad! didn't they do that in 2016 ? which made the electoral Commissioner then Charlotte Osei called for manual counting and submission? and when ndc hacked into the SHS school placement wasn't it corrected so how are you going to beat sophisticated npp? moy3 nkwase*afuo ! ndc politics 3tan papa! very disgusting! it shows they are not polititicians but crimi*nals ganged up to destroy beautiful Ghana but we will never give them chance! ndc will never come back ! try all your best it will be defeated ! npp are cool and collected, ndc can never succeed in their electronic rigging! tweeaaaa! mo boa koraa !
Why are the security being so one sided. They have taken the gadgets of the NDC party chairperson and now they want more. What about the gadgets of the NPP babies with holed teeth and old men with toothless gums? Can we stop the harassment of political parties. NPP should remember a few years ago they were in opposition. We saw them heckle the then sitting president at Manhyia palace, the security then was so professional that nothing untoward happened. Can you imagine anybody heckling Nana Akuffo Addo that much today? Asemsebe
PLease those talking about the the law is not a respector of anyone are so biased that they do not realise that the law is not a respector of even the police also. Lets read peoples constitutional rights as entrenched by the constitution and understand its dispensation well. When these things fly about, i conclude that the elites do not want many lawyers to disturb their reign. A country with many lawyers are able to challenge the powers that be at any turn.
PLEASE IS THIS NOT POLITICS THE GOVERNMENT IS PLAYING. THE STRATEGY IS TO PULL DOWN THE STRONG HOLD OF THE NDC. THEY ARE TARGETING THOSE ACTIVE IN THE NDC TO COW THEM DOWN. INSHALA IF THIS IS WHAT THE NPP WANT TO DO GOD WILL SPEAK FOR THEM. GHANAIANS WILL KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND VOTE THEM OUT. BUT WHO IS THAT THAT IS ALLEDGING, LET HIM PROVE. THE NPP FEAR THAT 2020 WE GO SHOW NANA
If you have done nothing wrong why not cooperate ?
Impudence of a dying cockroach.
NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW. NOT EVEN THE MOST POWERFUL PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD-US PRESIDENT. YOU GOT TO ABIDE BY THE LAW WHEN YOU ARE INVITED BY THE POLICE NOT TO FLEX MUSCLES. !D!0T!
Santrofie, behind bars? What has he done? Is it wrong to fight for your right? Some of us are public servants and we know what politicians are capable off. No wonder it is only Police, Army that politicians in Ghana manipulate. Ask why Politicians do not take their ***barred word*** to Civil Servants? Try the Civil Servant and they would bring your government down.
NANA ADDO SHOULD REPLACE TIWAA AS CID BOSS. THIS LADY CANNOT BITE! ELSE THIS ARROGANT GUY SHOULD BE BEHIND BARS AS WE SPEAK
I am Chartered Accountant like Tiwa herself. She doesn't know law.
