Kennedy Ohene Agyapong, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin North, has charged Samuel Koku Anyidoho, the former Director of Communications at the White House, with orchestrating the treason charges brought against him in 2012.
Kennedy Ohene Agyapong was on trial for inciting conduct that constituted a breach of the peace.
He claimed that Koku Anyidoho planned a campaign to portray him as anti-Ewe, which resulted in his arrest and subsequent treasonous charge.
On June 11, 2023, he spoke to NPP delegates in the Hohoe Constituency. “I was charged with treason. Koku Anyidoho incited the media against me, saying, ‘Kennedy Agyapong says they should go and kill Ewes.’ By five PM, the police had surrounded Oman FM. I reported myself the next day. I was there when Koku Anyidoho called from Prof. Mills’ office for them to charge me with treason, and they did because I was defending NPP.”
The rebellious MP was accused of attempting treason, genocide, and terrorism after it was claimed that he made tribal remarks on Oman FM, a privately owned radio station with a base in Accra.
However, the charges were dropped in favor of the lesser offenses of causing fear and alarm and conduct conducive to a breach of the peace.
After being invited by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service due to statements he is alleged to have made on his radio station, he was detained on Monday, April 16, 2012.
Following the alleged physical assault on Ursula Owusu, the MP for Ablekuma West, and Abu Jinapor, a former aide to the 2012 NPP flagbearer, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, at Odododiodoo during the biometric registration exercise, he was said to have “declared war” and vowed to lynch any fake security operative.
