Kwame Asare Obeng, widely known as A Plus, has defended the Special Prosecutor’s plea for armored vehicles, as outlined in a 2021 application for vehicle clearance.
The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), led by Mr. Kissi Adjabeng, faced public criticism after the document, requesting four armored-plated vehicles and 12 soft or light-body vehicles, amounting to GH¢29,952,000, surfaced online.
Despite the backlash, A Plus asserted that armored vehicles are crucial for the safety of the Special Prosecutor, who has faced multiple assassination attempts.
“You want to assassinate someone. You have made five attempts on his life this year alone, but you are angry he has requested bulletproof cars which is a requirement under the law that set up his office.
“Did the special prosecutor set up the OSP? Should I release the photos of all the attempts or you’ll shut up over there and allow the man to do his job? Like, he should avail himself for k!ln abi? I’m surprised he didn’t even request for bulletproof bulldozers. You have children but every day you want to k!l somebody. If you like, ask police to invite me for questioning. Like the things I’ll say ɛh! I’m calling your bluff!” he wrote in a long Facebook post.
He also lamented the current NPP-led administration’s ongoing practice of frustrating anti-corruption leaders.
“Me I no dey see any of you ooo, You people did same to Charlotte Osei, you did same to Domelovo, you did same to Martin Amidu, you did same to Dr Anyah, just to mention a few, and Abdul Malik Kwaku Barko ooo sɛ Kwaku One too,” he added.
