Charles Bissue, the former secretary of the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining (IMCIM), claims that he is not hiding and is still subject to the laws of the nation.
He has stated that he intends to go to the Special Prosecutor‘s Office to give the requested information.
Charles Bissue was wanted by the Office of the Special Prosecutor after he ignored a request to appear and respond to inquiries about an ongoing investigation into possible corruption within the defunct IMCIM.
Mr. Bissue expressed his dissatisfaction with the situation during an interview with Umaru Sanda Amadu on Eyewitness News, adding that he is currently in the Western region and traveling to Accra.
“It rather unfortunate, it has gotten to this, I’m within the jurisdiction, I’m in the country, in the Western region. As we speak, I’m making my way to Accra. The Special Prosecutor and I were in court, a couple of weeks ago he wrote that he wanted to meet me on another matter. I told them I had an emergency at home, but they declined it and asked me to attend on a certain date which I couldn’t. Further to that, all we heard was an arrest warrant for me”
Mr. Bissue made it clear that he respects the law and has given the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), National Security, and the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) pertinent information.
He reaffirmed that he has no desire to elude the law and questioned why he has been listed as wanted when he hasn’t actually committed any crime.
“I’m not above the law, I have always abided by the law. Already I have been to the BNI not as a suspect to provide information. I have been to the CID office, and sometimes I go in there, to do some documentation for them. I have been with the National Security and I don’t think I will run away.
“I’m not a fugitive for my photos to be advertised out there. I will go to the Special Prosecutor’s Office and provide information required of me. I know I’m innocent I haven’t committed any crime. I haven’t done anything wrong, I haven’t sold any excavators.”
