Editor in Chiet of the New Crusading Guide newspaper, Kweku Baako Jnr is claiming per video evidence in the hands of security agencies, the suspects of the alleged coup plot were planning on kidnapping President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and his vice, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
Kweku Baako who has had the privilege of watching the surveillance videos said the suspects can be seen manufacturing weapons they can use to achieve their purpose.
“They talk of exploding these things…They contemplated on how to kidnap Akufo-Addo and Bawumia and take over the state and manage the country. In my view this is not one of the fakes. There has been fakes before but this is not one of them…” he revealed during a panel discussion on Joy News file programme, Saturday.
Charges
So far the three suspects who have been arrested appeared in court and were charged with conspiracy to commit crime as well as illegally manufacturing firearms and explosives.
Many critics are wondering why the government are throwing in a coup plot yet the charges are stating something different.
In reaction, Kweku Baako said: “I will be disappointed if charges of treason are not preferred subsequently with what we are going through because of what I know and what I’ve seen; it will not be in the national interest. Let the court decide whether they are guilty or not guilty but the evidence available to the state eventually; and it should be sooner than later be put before the court”
Background
Government announced a planned attack on the Jubilee House was detected and foiled by a combined team of CID and BNI operatives some few days ago.
Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, in a statement detailing how the suspects and their operations were busted, said the whole plot was targeted at the presidency; with the ultimate aim of destabilizing the country.
“The persons arrested are Dr. Frederick Yao Mac-Palm and his two accomplices – Mr. Ezor Kafui (a local weapon manufacturer) and Mr. Bright Allan Debrah Ofosu (aka BB or ADC)”, the statement issued Monday, September 23 said.

Npp's minister of Defence, mr kweku baako, amazing. 124 ministers yet their incompetence is making baako work more than those who have portfolio. Nitiwul is sleeping on the job. Five security ministers, none has talked about this issue but we have a journalist jumping from one place to the other speaking for government. Was the change in 2016 necessary if the government we voted for cannot do something as simple as information management.
You see these npp guys see most ghanaians as fouuoolls. The concert is becoming tooo much , from coup to assassination to kidnap. Next will abduction. Concert no doooso dodo. The government is losing it can't they see?
FAKE NEWS, FAKE NEWS........
First they said the coup plot was a hoax. Now a journalist does his digging and brings out incontrovertible proof the coup plotters meant "business" ; then suddenly they say national security has given info to a journalist, they have a problem with that. They never talk about the gravity of the plot, even dismissing it as a "bentua" and "sapo" coup. Just wait until the coup plotters take us to the NDC headquarters, and begin to mention names...
We are tired of your faking and misgovernance!. No jobs, no security!. Don't turn Ghana into a failed state like Nigeria. We need a patriotic president to create new jobs for us!. We don't believe your 419 misgovernance anymore!. Can't wait for 2020 general elections!
That won't be bad to save the nation from wreckers. what is their use at all? any ***barred word*** fuuul can collapse banks and indigenous companies given the power as they have to rule the nation all in the name bank cleansing and economic stabilization. yes any lazy minded individual can take loans and borrow excessively claiming to use it for development then end up squandering them and then give excuses. so why should we worry when they are kidnapped? tell me on serious point what is the use of these politicians apart from causing so much hardship to the ordinary citizenry.
Since they say they have about 700 following, who knows, the real actors may be there ready to act now that some of their members have been busted.
Arrest you mother!
