Koku Anyidoho Charged With Treason

Koku Anyidoho is in hot waters.

The police arrested the Deputy General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress Koku Anyidoho. Moreover, the CID charged him treason.

Furthermore, his lawyer Victor Adawudu confirmed the charge to Joy News. Also, he reported the police saying the suspect will not be released on bail.

Therefore, he spent the night in jail. This due to his comments government described as “treasonable.”

The police whisked him from the headquarters to an unknown location.

Moreover, hundreds of supporters converged at the Police HQ to demand the release of Koku Anyidoho. They blocked roads, fomented trouble and later dispersed by the police.

Koku Anyidoho’s ‘treasonous’ comments

“On the 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 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.”
