After describing the arrest of Koku Anyidoho as “disproportionate”, former President John Dramani Mahama has shown solidarity to the Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) by visiting him at the Criminal Investigative Department (CID) Headquarters.
A picture which has surfaced online captures Mr. Mahama in a black pair of trousers and a green shirt as he enters the premises. He was accompanied by Julius Debrah, former Chief of Staff.
The police on Tuesday afternoon picked up Mr. Anyidoho at the International Press Center for making what has been described as treasonable comments.
Mr. Anyidoho in an interview on Accra-based Happy FM, indicated that President Akufo-Addo will be overthrown just like his father and the late Dr. K. A Busia due to the ratification of the controversial defence cooperation agreement between the US and the government of Ghana.
“Somebody should tell Nana Addo that history has a very interesting way of repeating itself. On the 13th of January 1972, a certain Colonel Ignatius Kutu Acheampong led an insurrection that removed the progress party from power. Busia was the Prime Minister and Akufo Addo’s father was the ceremonial President. Someone should tell Akufo-Addo that history has an interesting way of repeating itself,” Anyidoho warned.
“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 diarrhea. He said he wanted to be president, but we will make sure he will be fed up on the seat,’’ he noted further.
Meanwhile, the Accra High Court has ordered the Police CID to seize some essential electronic gadgets on which information related to the alleged treasonable comments made by Koku Anyidoho are said to be stored.
The items to be seized under the order include laptops, iPhones and ipads.
Justice Patience Mills-Tetteh gave the order on Wednesday following an ex-parte motion issued at the court by the Police. The order also permits the police to search and seize electronic devices of ‘agents’ of Anyodoho.

@ Asa Get it through your cotton picking block that old people die just as young ones. How dare you say Nana will die soon?People like you with no brains said Nana will never be president .People like you tagged Nana with as many as 3 life threatening conditions and yet the man is bouncing all over the place Be very careful the kind of curses you invite upon yourself.I would rather an old man run this country so my life would be better than a young man whose avowed aim is to pinch everything in sight.
Koku shd know he is not the PRO of the citizenry. Others, including myself hv not ask him to speak on our behalf. Another thing is that, how do u tlk of civilian coup detat n mk reference to millitary coup detat. After all, what is civilian coup detat? Highly irresponsible n needless statement. Koku! u r not de only Ghanaian. If u cnt stay, leave!
I never thought NPP could win the 2016 election, but they did. This has helped me to understand the dynamics of the Ghanaian voter. Anything could happen in 2020. By the turn of events, in the likely events that NDC come back to power, life would be extremely scorching for NPP sympathizers. Even most police leaders would not find jobs. In my opinion, koku was only issuing vain threat that nana addo himself that young politicians. What is difference between all die be die and civil coup detat? When one was talking about death the other was talking about civil revolt, yet no one picked up nana addo for making such reckless comment. What I am worried about is that, nana addo is over 70 years and is likely to die very soon, so he doesn't care about what he does. It's the youth who would be affected by his bad decisions in the near future. Americans went to Porto Rico for military exercise, today, they have taken the nation as their colony. Nana addo and especially Barwumia should be wiser. Why did he even make nitiwul, empty headed, his defense minister who has brought this shame and problem to him. I am not sure nana addo was well informed about this agreement.
Anybody at all can visit but if you're a man take him home.incompetent Manama want to score cheap political point. Why is the founder and leader sitting at home.and not misbehaving like cheap NDC leaders even in opposition you're still incompetent. Ebufusem akwakwa.
If I were Nana, would have made a Strong warning to ALL. We are trying to change GH and yet NDC is taking us back.
WHY DO WE HAVE ALL THESE PEOPLE IN ONLY 1 PARTY? I CAN'T THINK FAR
MAHAMA, YOU CANT DO TEEEEEE!!! YOUR TIME HAS PASSED AND REMEMBER THAT GHANA DOESNT BELONG TO YOUR DECADENT NDC!!!!
