Some plain cloth armed men purported to be National Security Operatives on Tuesday morning arrested Prophet Kwabena Owusu Agyei a self-acclaimed man of God while granting live phone interviews by Hot FM which was also being carried live on Facebook.
At least four men with side pistols drove to the supposed “codded location” in Accra to arrest him in a Rambo style having produced a purported arrest warrant.
The Journalist, Boamah Darko Isaac was heard demanding the Identity Card of the operatives but was threatened with a gun to stay back.
The men whisk the Prophet into a V8 vehicle and drove away to an unknown location.
A family member who was interviewed shortly after the incident hinted that lawyers of the Prophet were going to secure bail for him.
The self-acclaimed Prophet has recently come under attack by a section of the Ghanaian public for threatening the Electoral Commission (EC) Chairperson, Jean Mensah, and the President Akufo Addo.
“Let me tell them (Akyems) something, in June 4 people were crying let the blood flow, it was only military people whose blood flowed, correct, today as I hear the let the blood flow, it is the blood of the Akyem Mafia that will flow…I saw Kyebi palace, I saw it on fire and people were saying let the blood flow.” Prophet Owusu Agyei warned.
The decision by the Electoral Commission of Ghana to compile a new voters’ register is facing fierce resistance by a group call Inter-Party Resistance Against the New Voters Register (IPRAN), made up of six opposition political parties, including largest opposition party in Ghana – the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The group staged demonstrations in some parts of the country early this year. It had planned to escalate their actions against the EC but for the spread of coronavirus in the country.
The EC has nonetheless maintained its position to compile a new voter’s register
The commission initially slated the exercise on April 18, 2020, but had to postpone it due to the coronavirus last week of June.
With about five months to the December 7, Presidential and Parliamentary election, the EC has served notice it will still go ahead with the compilation of the new voter’s register.
A C.I for the compilation of the register is set to mature in Parliament today meanwhile there is a court action before the Supreme Court of Ghana seeking among other things to halt the exercise.
