National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, has declined the invitation of the Police CID.
The Criminal Investigations Department of the Ghana Police Service invited him again for questioning in connection with kidnappings and market fires across the country on Wednesday.
In a letter addressed to the NDC National chairman, the Police CID said it "has commenced investigations into cases of kidnapping and fire outbreaks in various parts of the country.
Intelligence gathered indicates that some of these kidnappings and fire outbreaks are being orchestrated by unidentified groups, persons and individuals. Some of the persons picked up for interrogation and investigation have mentioned your name as part of a grand scheme designed to cause fear and panic in the country.”
But in a letter signed by his lawyer Dr. Dominic Ayine and addressed to the police CID, he stated that "we take the respectful view that since our client is not under arrest for the alleged offences, he is legally entitled to decline your invitation. We have therefore advised him accordingly.”
