<<Print>>John Dumelo and the V8 has been one of the most told political stories since the 2016 General Elections.
The actor turned politician was accused by members of the current government of colluding with the John Mahama government to fraudulently take a V8 vehicle that belonged to the country.
However, John Dumelo has always maintained that it was not the case. According to the John, he was paying for the vehicle when he took it to be sprayed.
That was when National Security operatives impounded the vehicle claiming that the actor was trying to “steal the vehicle”. However, John maintains that he was legally acquiring the vehicle and that when that specific vehicle was taken from him, the individual he was dealing with replaced it with another of which he had full payment for.
John, who is currently the NDC parliamentary candidate for the Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency, was explaining himself and the V8 saga in a conversation with Citi FM.
