About twelve (12) serving soldiers including a senior officer have been
fingered in the foiled coup d’etat and are currently being interrogated
over their alleged involvement, MyNewsGh.com reports.
According to sources available to this portal, some of them were
actually informants and will be treated as such while others were
working in concert with the prime suspect Dr. Frederick Yao Mac-Palm
owner of Cidatel Hospital Hospital.
Minister for Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah this week dropped a hint
that atop military officer and other junior rank soldiers were among
suspects in the case.
“There are military persons including an officer who are in custody and
being interrogated in connection with this incident,” he revealed on
Accra-based Starr Fm monitored by MyNewsGh.com.
Dr. Frederick Yao Mac-Palm owner of Cidatel Hospital Hospital and his
two accomplices – Mr. Ezor Kafui (a local weapon manufacturer) and Mr.
Bright Allan Debrah Ofosu (aka BB or ADC) are currently in the custody
of the BNI over the alleged plot.
Many have given varying interpretations to the claim by government
taking into account the type of weapons that have been retrieved from
the suspects during last Friday’s raid by the security agencies.
But sources reveal that more implicating evidence is emerging against the three suspects including video and audio recordings.
Meanwhile, the suspects have been slapped with five charges including;
conspiracy to commit crime – Manufacture of arms and ammunition without
lawful authority, conspiracy to commit crime – Possession of explosives
and firearms without lawful authority, manufacture of firearms without
lawful authority, manufacture of explosives and ammunition’s without
lawful authority and possession of explosives and firearms.
