We’ll use 'all legal' means to ‘deal’ with Ofosu-Ampofo – CID vows

Deputy Superintendent of Police [DSP] Ms Juliana Obeng
The Criminal Investigation Department [CID] of the Police Service says they will continue to peruse some allegations levelled against the National Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress [NDC] after the embattled Chairman failed to appear before them on an invitation.
The PRO of the department, Deputy Superintendent of Police [DSP] Ms Juliana Obeng told NEAT FM’s evening political show 'Torch Light' that her superiors will use all legal means available to handle Chairman Ofosu-Ampofo’s issue.
According to the CID, suspects connected to the various kidnappings and fires are pointing fingers at Mr. Oofsu-Ampofo hence the invitation to him to appear on Thursday, May 9, 2019, to assist with investigations.
But, Mr. Ofosu Ampofo has declined the invitation, insisting the position of the CID is just to “shift the blame over the increasing inability of the security agencies” to ensure the safety of citizens.
Through his legal team, the NDC Chairman noted that – “Your invitation, its tone and insinuations, is simply an attempt to 'pass the buck', and shift the blame over the increasing inability of the security agencies, including your outfit, to manage and control the failures of security and the governance structures of the country as a whole. Looking for scape-goats would not improve the situation.”
DSP Ms Juliana Obeng told host Mac-Jerry Osei Agyeman that – the CID will not hesitate to seek a warrant for Ofosu- Ampofo’s arrest if he again declines their invitation.
“It’s possible we can use that to arrest him but I can’t confirm now. It’s part of many other legal options to use,” she said.

Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan Black Stars Skipper, Asamoah Gyan could be dropped from the 23-man contingent for the 2019 African Cup of Nations in Egypt, Coach Kwesi Appiah has hinted. This came to light when some journalists visited the coach with a prophet at his private residence in Kumasi. The prophet (name withheld) had gone to tell the coach that he had had a vision that, “Asamoah Gyan and Andre “Dede” Ayew was returning from Egypt leading the national team with the African Cup that they had won for the country”. But the coach reportedly impressed on the prophet to “work around Dede Ayew if he could, because Asamoah Gyan would be dropped since he’s battling with injury and also out of form”.

Ghana looks to win the AfCON after 37 years with a potential squad that has been labelled as “feeble and inferior”, as comp...
