Former Special Prosecutor Martin A. B. K. Amidu has accused the leadership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) of orchestrating a targeted attack against him, involving high-profile figures such as Alhassan Suhuyini, Sammy Gyamfi, and spearheaded by NDC Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketiah.
Amidu claims these attacks are based on unverified allegations about a petition he supposedly submitted for the removal of Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng.
He expressed confusion over why NDC leader John Dramani Mahama would initiate such an aggressive campaign against him.
In a statement released on May 26, Amidu questioned the authenticity of the petition dated April 30, 2024, and criticized the NDC’s collaboration with media outlets to propagate these claims without providing him the opportunity to respond.
Amidu also cast doubt on the legitimacy of a document attributed to the Chief Justice, citing several inconsistencies and procedural errors that suggest it might be a forgery.
Furthermore, Amidu condemned Joy FM for biased reporting, accusing them and the NDC of failing to publish key documents that would allow him to address the accusations.
Despite the personal attacks, Amidu reaffirmed his commitment to fighting corruption and defending the 1992 Constitution.
“What has really baffled me, and which is what I have been trying to understand, is the reason for which John Dramani Mahama, who is the leader and flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has unleashed his NDC attack dogs such as Alhassan Suhuyini, Sammy Gyamfi, and to crown it all, the Chairman of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, on me since 17 May 2024.
“I cannot understand why the NDC will collaborate with Kissi Agyebeng’s preferred rented media house and his chief executioner, Sampson Lardy Anyenini, to make allegations against me without publishing the alleged petition on which the allegations are based to provide me the opportunity to confirm or deny my signature and rebut or admit the accusations.
“I have every reason to question the authenticity of the document attributed to the Chief Justice because I established with mathematical precision with the assistance of information and communication technologies (ICT) that a Joint Statement published at the instance of Kissi Agyebeng as a Joint Statement by the OSP and the Judicial Service of Ghana (JSG) was a forgery by the OSP.
“Joy FM and the NDC have refused or failed to publish the letter from the Presidency to the Chief Justice or the alleged petition for purposes of authentication to enable a reasoned response from me as the Joy FM’s accused in its trial in the court of public opinion.
“I will continue to defend the 1992 Constitution against all greedy bastards abusing the rights of citizens under the guise of law enforcement,” he declared.
