Former special prosecutor Martin Amidu believes that someone in positions of power gave agents permission to harm him on Monday at his home as a result of his recent criticism of the administration. He asserts that the government has been unrelentingly going for him ever since he was relieved of his duties as the special prosecutor. In a message that was transmitted to GhanaWeb, the late Victor Newman, a founding member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the previous attorney general and minister of justice, claimed that he even thwarted attempts for his assassination. Since November 16, 2020, I have been threatened by this regime with murder, armed robbery, and house fire. The late Victor Newman gave up on his efforts to murder me back then. Every time I use my right to protect the Constitution, as I recently did on June 28 and June 30, threats get worse, and yesterday, July 3, 2023, at 2:15 a.m., a covert attack took place on my residence. “As I said in November 2020, Nana Akufo-Addo is ultimately responsible for any violent incidents that damage me or my home. I must defend the 1992 Constitution as a citizen of Ghana, and I won’t back down from that responsibility. No patriotic Ghanaian, according to him, should be frightened by lawbreakers. The NPP had reportedly warned its communicators not to disparage the character of the Dormaahene, Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyemang Badu II, who had criticized the government and the Supreme Court over the prosecution of James Gyakye Quayson, a member of parliament for Assin North. The former special prosecutor responded to the reports in the media with his remarks. It is fortunate for the renowned Chief of the Dormaas that the communicators only attacked his persona on television and that their superiors recognized the danger it posed to the NPP in the 2024 elections. In my case, Monday, July 3, 2023 at first light, Nana Akufo-Addo’s undercover officers and operatives broke into my residence,” he said. Amidu shared a picture of his partially broken front gate.
