Koku Anyidoho charged with treason

Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho, has been charged with treason after he was arrested on Tuesday, March 27.

His lawyer Victor Kojoga Adawudu revealed to journalists.

He had threatened on radio that there will be a civil coup d’etat to topple the Akufo-Addo administration.

He told Happy FM on Monday, 26 March that: “Somebody should tell Nana Akufo-Addo that history has a very interesting way of repeating itself.

“On January 13, 1972 a certain Col. Ignatius Kutu Acheampong led a movement that removed the Progress Party from power. Busia was the Prime Minister and Akufo-Addo’s father was a ceremonial president. Somebody should tell Nana Akufo-Addo that history has a very interesting way of repeating itself.

“There’ll be a civil revolt. There’ll be a people’s movement. During President John Mahama’s tenure didn’t we receive similar threats from the likes of Let My Vote Count and OccupyGhana.”

“There’ll be a civilian coup d’etat; there’ll be a social revolution and the movement is starting on Wednesday. He [Akufo-Addo] will be fed up at the presidency,” Mr Anyidoho said.
