Afoko Brother Threatened To Kill NPP Officer – Group
It has emerged that Gregory Afoko, younger brother
of New Patriotic Party (NPP) National Chairman,
Paul Afoko – who is standing trial for the
murder of the party’s Upper East Regional
Chairman, Alhaji Adams Mahama – once threatened
to kill Kamal Deen Abdulai, the NASARA National
Coordinator of the party.

A group calling itself Youth for Afoko (YOFA)
disclosed this in a statement, threatening to quit
the party if the NPP National Chairman is
impeached.

On Wednesday, May 20, Ghanaians were hit with the
shocking news of acid attack on the dynamic NPP
regional chairman in Bolgatanga, leading to his
death a few hours later on Thursday.

Two people who are suspected to have been involved
in the pouring of the acid on the NPP guru have
been identified and one (Gregory Afoko) is
currently in police custody charged with murder.

Threat To Kill

Nana Tweneboah Kodua, Yaw Asiama and Gilbert
Afoakwa, who claim to be members of the group,
said in the statement that “It is on record that
last year, Kamal Deen, the NASARA Coordinator of
the NPP, wrote a letter to Mr. Paul Afoko
indicating that his brother Gregory, had
threatened to kill him so he wanted them to settle
the matter amicably as brothers. Mr. Kamal Deen
gave a copy of the letter to the high ranking
members of the NPP,” the group claimed.

The members said they did not understand the
reason why Kamal Deen distributed copies of his
letter to most of the top members of the NPP,
including Mr. Afoko quizzing, “Was the letter a
set-up against Mr. Paul Afoko?”

“Exactly a year After, Mahama Adams gets
murdered, and Gregory gets arrested. Kamal Deen
has admitted to have called the late Adams and
warned him to be careful, the day before he kicked
the bucket. We therefore call on the security
agencies to invite Kamal Deen for indepth
interrogation. He seems to know something
Ghanaians do not know,” they said.

DAILY GUIDE checks with Kamal Deen indicated that
indeed, he wrote the letter which was served on
Mr. Afoko and other national executives of the
party.

Impeachment

The unfolding events in the party in recent times,
culminating in the unfortunate death of Chairman
Mahama, has compelled some regional executives who
claim they were under pressure from the rank and
file of the party to try and impeach Mr. Afoko and
the General Secretary, Kwabena Agyepong.

According to them, they did not understand why
some members of the party “are seeking Mr.
Afoko’s impeachment instead of seeking for
justice for the late Adams Mahama. We do not want
to believe this whole thing was a calculated
agenda to push Mr. Afoko out of office. We do not
believe in bloodshed. Justice must prevail.”
