The unexpected happened Saturday at the studios of private radio station Citi FM when businessman, Alfred Agbesi Woyome, the man at the centre of the controversial GHC51 million judgement debt, stormed the station in the morning.
A visibly upset Alfred Woyome entered the studio just when panellists on Citi FM’s News Analysis Programme ‘The Big Issue’, the Executive Director of IMANI Ghana; Franklin Cudjoe, a member of the NPP and Legal Practitioner; John Kumah, and member of the Progressive People’s Party (PPP), Richard Amoah were sharing their varied opinions on the judgement debt and his alleged role in the saga.
According to him, he was compelled to drive to the station because he was unhappy with comments by the panelists on the matter.
He was accompanied by two of his aides, one of whom got into a heated altercation with the Producer of the Show and the Operations Manager of the station.
The aide attempted to smash the Operations Manager’s camera claiming he was taking photos of his misbehaviour.
This was about an hour after he had been interviewed live on the same show by host, Umaru Sanda Amadu, on a press conference he organised yesterday [Friday].
The police were later called in to calm tempers.
Background
Alfred Agbesi Woyome had this past week accused the Supreme Court of persecuting him following its approval for him to be orally examined by former Attorney General, and anti-corruption campaigner, Martin Amidu.
Mr. Woyome was paid GHc 51 million after he claimed that he helped Ghana to raise funds to construct stadia for purposes of hosting the 2008 African Nations Cup.
However, an Auditor General’s report released in 2010 said the amount was paid illegally him and subsequently, the Supreme Court in 2014 ordered Mr. Woyome to pay back the money after Mr. Amidu challenged the legality of the payments in court.
Some efforts by the Attorney General to retrieve the GHc51 million, including selling his property to defray the debt, proved futile.
In 2016, the AG’s department, led by the Minister for Justice, Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong, decided to discontinue an application to examine the one-time NDC financier orally because it was considering a possible settlement with the defendant.
But this compelled Mr. Amidu to return to court to seek his eventually successful order to examine Mr. Woyome.

FOR NOT REPEATING THAT DOSE ON THE SAME STATION THAT SENT HIM. THEY ARE JUST TOOTHLESS BULL DOGS.
i dont understand why this woyome of a the1.f has been soo restless ever since the supreme court has ruled that Mr Amidu examine him orally. thank God I am not the only one who noticed it but anybody knows why? well we will find out after the examination. i reserve my comments
Ever since Martin secured the ruling to interrogate Woyome, he's been on edge and completely disoriented. The impending court encounter is eating Woyome up. I won't be surprised if we wake up to a suicide breaking news or some strange occurrence that eliminates the man. Officials in this government are really scared of the possible fallout. Time will tell.
woyome will go to jail where ata ayi and johnson kombian will fokkkkkk his asssss very welll when he dies, he will go to helll where satan will continueee to fokkkkk his asss excellently. All the judgement debt in the world will not help to cure him from the pain in his anusssssss after than
