I prevented Adams Mahama's arrest – Kwabena Agyepong
The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party
Kwabena Agyepong has revealed that he prevented
the late Upper East regional chairman of the
party, Adams Mahama, from being arrested and
detained after Mahama attacked him and National
Chairman Paul Afoko with over 30 'macho men'.

Agyepong, who was speaking with some executives in
the Ashanti region last week, said the police had
to disperse Mahama’s 'macho men' with tear gas.

Mahama died May 21, after he was showered with
acid by some unidentified men. The gruesome attack
came days after Mahama allegedly led some thugs to
scuttle a planned meeting by Afoko and Agyepong in
the region.

Two people have so far been arrested in connection
with the acid attack.

In a secretly recorded tape played exclusively on
Kasapa FM Monday, Agyepong is heard saying he had
to beg the regional police commander from
detaining Mahama after he disrespected the police
commander.

“Adams arrived at the Police station with 30
macho men and that one I saw it physically...the
police had to use tear gas at the police station
to disperse the crowd.

“After a while, the police kept insisting that
Adams says he wants to see us...and we told the
Police that he is the regional chairman, we came
here because of him, so let him come if he wants
to come alone.

“He entered the room, sat on one side; I was
seated at the other side and the Police commander
on his desk so the commander asked him ‘so
regional chairman what is the problem – ask
them’ [Mahama’s response], so the commander
also flared and said how can you come to my office
and disrespect me [this way], the police commander
was so angry, he took his water bottle and threw
it at Adams and said he would beat him up but the
Police in the room separated them.

“In fact the Police Commander wanted to detain
him and arrest him but I said, ‘commander if you
arrest this man and detain him, they would say me
and Paul have come to the region and [caused his
arrest] so we beg you let him go”.
