Founder and Leader of the United Progressive Party (UPP), Akwasi Addai aka Odike, says his life is at stake after escaping an attack on him by some unidentified thugs.
According to the businessman the gunmen raided his office in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region Monday amid the firing of gunshots.
Speaking on Kasapa News, Akwasi Addai Odike, who went into hiding when the thugs stormed his office, said his life is in danger.
He stated that a bullet hit nobody but a few of my staff were physically assaulted and sustained minor injuries.
“They could not spot me, otherwise I would have belonged to the silent world by now,” the politician indicated.
The attack comes three days after the Asanteman Traditional Council held an emergency meeting at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi on 19th August 2022, where Odike was banned from visiting the palace after he accused some Ashanti chiefs of their involvement in illegal mining [Galamsey].
As a result, a ram was slaughtered to invoke ancestral curses against the businessman.
He has since filed a report with the police following which the police visited the crime scene for preliminary investigation.
