Kennedy Agyapong, a presidential aspirant for the New Patriotic Party, claimed that Samuel Koku Anyidoho was responsible for his detention and trial in 2012. Anyidoho, the founder and president of the Atta Mills Institute, has responded to Agyapong.
Anyidoho requested that Ken Agyapong concentrate on his presidential campaign and cease disparaging him in a tweet that was sent on June 12, 2023.
He said that the presidential candidate for the NPP’s own words and deeds were what caused his 2012 detention.
Kennedy Agyapong has to concentrate on his campaign and leave me out of it, someone please tell him. The former deputy general secretary of the NDC, Anyidoho, claimed, “I never planned his imprisonment; it was his own lips that planned it.
By the way, did he arrange for my detention? I slept in the same cell and on the same bed as he did, he said.
Ken Agyapong’s words:
Kennedy Agyapong alleged that the former Director of Communications at the Presidency (Anyidoho) engineered a campaign depicting him as anti-Ewe, which resulted on his arrest and subsequent charge of treason, when addressing NPP delegates in the Hohoe Constituency on Sunday, June 11, 2023.
“Treason was alleged against me. Kennedy Agyapong “says they should go and kill Ewes,” according to Koku Anyidoho, who then incited the media against me. The police had encircled Oman FM around 5:00 PM. I came in the next day. Because I was defending the NPP, they accused me of treason, and I was present when Koku Anyidoho phoned from Prof. Mills’ office, the flagbearer candidate claimed.
In 2012, attempted treason, genocide, and terrorist charges were brought against Kennedy Agyapong, the Member of Parliament for Assin Central, in connection with remarks he was accused of making on Oman FM, a privately owned radio station.
He was instead charged with lesser offences of behaviour conducive to the breach of peace and inciting fear and alarm after the charges were eventually dismissed.
A circuit court cleared Kennedy Agyapong of all allegations in April 2013.
