An amount of money, thought to be in the thousands of Ghana Cedis, which was in one of Mr Kofi Adams’ two SUVs that were seized, has been “stolen”, the NDC National Organiser’s Aide Yahya Ibrahim has said.
“One of the SUVs had its windscreen cracked, one of the cars too has been ransacked, he [Kofi Adams] had some few monies in his car and some other logistics in the vehicle, which have all been taken away, but according to the police, when they brought it and they took inventory, those things were not in the vehicle,” Mr Ibrahim told Moro Awudu on Class91.3FM’s Executive Breakfast Show on Friday, 17 February when he was asked about the condition of the five cars after the Criminal Investigations Department of the Ghana Police Service, in whose custody the vehicles were, returned them on Thursday.
The vehicles include two Toyota Land Cruiser V8s with registration numbers GS 7451-12 and GN 7796-16, respectively and three Nissan Hardbody Pick-Ups with registration numbers GM 842-16, GM 823-16 and GM 846-16, respectively.
On 1 February, 15 armed men dressed in military fatigues, suspected to be army personnel, stormed the private residence of Mr Adams and seized all his vehicles in the company of four alleged National Security officers and personnel from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA).
According to Mr Adams, who said he was in Dubai during the incident, the soldiers ransacked his Tema Gulf City home and drove away the five cars.
The cars, according to the soldiers, were suspected to belong to the state and were taken to the Flagstaff House.
National Security Minister Albert Kan-Dapaah later called Mr Adams to apologise to him saying the action was not sanctioned by officialdom. Mr Kan-Dapaah ordered the return of the cars but Mr Adams insisted they be taken to the police for inspection and an inventory taken before he could take them back. The CID, however, held onto the cars until Mr Adams was compelled to write to the IGP to demand his vehicles back.
The Pick-Ups are in the name of Japan Motors while the two Land Cruisers are in the name of Mr Adams.
Mr Adams’ aide told Moro Awudu he suspects those who stormed his boss’ home for the cars, stole the alleged money, even though he refused to disclose the exact amount.
“Indeed, they are responsible because things were in the vehicles that are missing as we speak and we are going to lodge a formal complaint to the police and we’ll pursue it legally, we will not leave it in the hand of the police to say they are going to prosecute them, no, we will pursue it legally,” he said, adding: “The one who took it knows the money does not belong to him so when we go to court he will refund it”.
Also, Mr Ibrahim said: “The military man involved, Captain Adjei Tandoh, we are going to pursue him legally and take the Ghana Armed Forces on in the coming days.”
He added that one of the Pick-Ups has also been damaged. “… I’m sure when they were reversing, they did not reverse well so it hit something, so, there is a small damage at the back of which we notified the police.”

I like kofi's style, irresponsible actions always begot irresponsible reaction. Thousands of cedis is small why not million kofi. NPP is full of crab
Kofi please send all your cars for electro scanning. There are trackers in the car. It is a diversionary tactics. Shine your eyes Kofi.
For those who know Kofi Adams the level of his riches raises suspicion. When he stopped teaching did he have house of his own? What business does he run that he has become rich after leaving his regular jobs to be the aid of ex-president J. J. Rawlings to the extent that e has now built a storey building and own 5 cars in addition to other vehicles? How can a man who is always on radio and tv programmes defending his party's interest and working on the ground as party organiser get money to buy and register three (3) pick-ups and one (1) SUV in one year, 2016? Or did he use money meant for the NDC campaign as the campaign coordinator to buy the vehicles for himself? If I was n NDC person I would be worried as to how Kofi Adams had the 5 vehicles knowing who he is! Ghana needs a vibrant Financial Crime and Fraud Department that would investigate the financial capacities of people that owe property in Ghana with no identifiable source of income. This will help track all drug dealers, armed robbers and many more.
SO KOFI ADAMS HAS SO MUCH MONEY HE ENDS UP KEEPING SOME IN HIS CARS? I SYMPATHISE WITH MOTHER GHANA. HMMMM
Pick ups in the name of Japan Motors? Three pick ups all registered in the year 2016. Kofi Adams, are you a contractor? Ei! This is serious o. How many children does he even have? I'm sure its not even Government's pick ups. They should check their party records. A private individual with 3 Nissan pickups is too fishy to explain. Japan Motors, why was the change of ownership not done? hmmm, NDC party. You better go for your campaign pickups from this man's house. 2020 is just around the corner. Unless you will change your strategy to door to door, pillow to pillow. 3y3 nsem pii!!!
Wow!! This is all I can say.
