'Arrest Nana Addo'
The case involving controversial New Patriotic
Party (NPP) activist, Hajia Fati Amadu, popularly
known as Aliga, has taken an entirely new twist
with her lawyer now pushing for the police to
arrest the 2012 presidential candidate of the
party, Nana Akufo-Addo.

Lawyer Emmanuel Darkwah wants the police to invite
the NPP strong man for questioning regarding
allegations leveled against his (Darkwah's) client
over an assault case.

Hajia Fati and Moses Abbor, the Ayawaso Central
Youth Organiser, have been accused of having a
hand in the assault of Ibrahim Atluk, a close aide
to NPP National Chairman, Paul Afoko.

Cause

The two were
invited to the headquarters of the police Criminal
Investigations Department (CID) last Friday,
September 19, for questioning and subsequently
granted bail after three hours of interrogation.

This followed a complaint lodged at the Nima
Police Station by Atluk, which was subsequently
sent to the Police Headquarters with the purported
influence of Paul Afoko, who had been having his
own battles with other colleagues over the affairs
of the party.

It has emerged that the complainant (Atluk), who
happens to be one of several aides of Afoko, told
the police that when he was being subjected to
beatings, his attackers said they would visit more
brutality on him next time if he did not stop
insulting Hajia Fati and Nana Akufo- Addo.

The attack by the yet-to-be-identified men left
Atluk with a dislocated arm and bruises.

It was for this reason the tough-talking and
no-nonsense Hajia Fati was invited by the police
for questioning.

Issue
Lawyer for Hajia Fati therefore could not fathom
why Nana Akufo-Addo, whose name was said to have
also been mentioned during the attack on Atluk,
had not been invited for questioning, let alone
arrested in the interest of fairness.

Emmanuel Darkwah therefore charged the police
investigator handling the case, Deputy
Superintendent of Police (DSP) William Sedoama,
who happens to be the Director of Homicide Unit of
the Criminal Investigation Department, to also
invite Akufo-Addo, introducing a new twist to the
case.

After reporting themselves to the police last
Wednesday, Hajia Fati was said to have gone
straight to Akufo-Addo's Nima residence and told
him to be prepared because the police might soon
be inviting him for questioning over the assault
of Afoko's boy.

Hajia Fati and Moses Abor have since been asked to
report to the police in two weeks' time (October
1, 2014).
