Police given permission to seize Anyidoho's electronic gadgets as Court begins trial today

Deputy General Secretary of the opposition, National Democratic Congress, Koku Anyidoho who is currently in the grips of the police, will be arraigned before court on today, Thursday, March 29, on the charge of treason. 

Koku's arrest and treason charge comes from a recent statement he made on an Accra radio, "Happy FM" concerning the tenure of President Nana Akufo-Addo. 

As the state looks to build a case of treason against Koku Anyidoho, police have been given permission to seize all electronic devices belonging to the embattled Deputy General Secretary.

An Accra based radio CitiFM, reported that, it has sighted a warrant from the High Court, ordering the seizure of electronic gadgets including laptops, iPhone and iPads, believed to store information related to treason in the premises of Koku Anyidoho and his supposed agents, to aid the police investigations.

This development follows the Criminal Investigations Department’s (CID) request to "Happy FM" to produce the official copy of tape on which Mr. Anyidoho is believed to have made the "treasonable" comments.

Koku Anyidoho, in the interview, with Accra private radio, "HappY FM" said President Nana Akufo-Addo will be overthrown because of the ratification of the controversial defence cooperation agreement between Ghana and the US.

He said the overthrow will be in the form of a “civilian coup d’etat”.

“There will be a civilian coup d’état. There will be a social revolution. We (NDC) are starting it on Wednesday. The movement is starting on Wednesday. Nana Addo will have sleepless nights. He will suffer diarrhoea. He said he wanted to be President, but we will make sure he will be fed up on the seat.”

The host of the show on which the comments were made, Kwame Affrifa, has also been invited by the police to aid in their investigations.

Mr. Anyidoho was picked at the International Press centre last Tuesday to assist the police with investigations and has since been in police custody after being charged with treason.

His Oyarifa residence in Accra was also searched before he was moved from the police headquarters and sent to an unknown location after he was refused bail.

Meanwhile, the National Chairman National Democratic Congress (NDC) Kofi Portuphy is reported to be heading to court to support Koku Anyidoho as the court begins hearing his case today.
