The National Organiser of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, has revealed that Richard Jakpa, the third accused person in the now discontinued ambulance procurement trial, was among those involved in the raid on the home of former Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta.
His comments come after some unidentified men, some in military uniform raided Ofori-Atta’s residence.
Speaking at a press conference on Thursday where the NPP condemned the raid, he referred to video footage of the raid, which shows twelve individuals, including a police officer, four military personnel, and seven unidentified men in plain clothes.
Mr Boakye emphasised that Richard Jakpa’s presence during the raid is particularly significant, as he is the third accused in the well-known ambulance trial case. “All those involved were heavily armed,” he said.
He questioned the legitimacy of the raid, given the involvement of both military and other law enforcement personnel.
The opposition New Patriotic Party also rejected the declaration by the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) that former finance minister Ken Ofori-Atta is a fugitive, calling it “unreasonable”.
The National Organiser of the party, Henry Nana Boakye, also known as Nana B, strongly condemned the OSP’s actions.
He stated, “Mr Ken Ofori-Atta can never be a fugitive. He is not a fugitive, and he will never be a fugitive. The OSP got it wrong.”
Nana B further clarified that since taking public office in 2017, the former minister has always addressed any legal matters he was involved in and will continue to do so with the current case.
He also cautioned the OSP against making “sensational statements” that provoke public emotions and create unnecessary drama, stressing that the matter could have been resolved more appropriately through official correspondence.
