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.

Ato Quainoo, ministers have already spoken about this. Kweku Baako is a journalist!
JOKE OF THE CENTURY , EVEN MY 11YRS OLD BOY IS LAUGHING AT THE PRESIDENT BEING KIDNAP . HE ASKED WHY ISNT THERE SOLDIERS AROUND THE PRESIDENT.
Since he knows he cannot win 2020 but still fighting to lead the NDC to victory, I suspect JDM is looking for a foul play just like he did to President Atta Mills. He could be behind the coup plot. Please arrest him
If what baako is saying is true, then I think they were just blowing hot air on their WhatsApp platform.
Who is kweku baako that the government has turned him into its spokesperson. So all the 124 ministers, what are they doing that nana addo is secretly paying kweku baako to be speaking for government. Is it not an offence that national security information will be given to a civilian?
That would have been awesome, considering how corrupt these ediots are!!!
