Deputy General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Obiri Boahene says Daniel Asiedu one of the suspects standing trial for the murder of the former MP for Abuakwa North Constituency, Joseph Boakye Danquah Adu, has not been consistent with his evidence-in-chief to the court.

According to him, the alleged ‘killer’ of the late NPP lawmaker has given some “funny’ evidences in court as to who hired him to assassinate the politician.

Daniel Asiedu aka Sexy Dondon, on Wednesday, told an Accra District Court that he was hired by some persons in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to kill the Legislator and was rather told to mention the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) as his ‘contractors’ whenever he’s questioned about the crime.

According to him, he was promised to be provided with whatever he asks for after he’s been able to carry out the assignment. He added that he’s still not heard from his “contractors”.

Daniel Asiedu who was arrested after he allegedly stabbed the late MP in his East Legon home while sleeping on the dawn of Tuesday, February 9, 2016, told the court that only one person from the NPP has visited him since his arrest and is ready to mention the names of the persons who contracted him if asked to do so.

But Nana Obiri Boahene noted that the accused person has been “giving different accounts” – after arguing that “I don’t think this boy is mad. They told us he is dangerous and has committed several crimes”.  

Speaking in an interview on NEAT FM’s morning show ‘Ghana Montie’, Lawyer Nana Obiri Boahen, who has stayed abreast with the case since it went to trial, described Daniel Asiedu as a dishonest character whose words should not be taken seriously.

He said the suspect has not been consistent with his statements about his involvement in the murder casting doubt on the credibility of his character.
