The meeting between the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Chairman, Samuel Ofosu -Ampofo, and CID officials at the Police Headquarters has been postponed again.

Lawyer for the opposition party Chair, Abraham Amaliba who was at the Police CID office on Friday, says his client is bereaved and that he could not meet with the Police as planned. 

“We require some more time to honour the invitation,” he said.

It is the second time the meeting has been rescheduled after Mr. Ampofo failed to show up on Thursday as was widely reported.

Earlier, his counsel Victor Kwadwo Adawudu had disclosed on Okay FM's ‘Ade Akye Abia’ programme that his client will appear before the police CID today (Friday)

However, the opposition party chair did not show up again on Friday as agreed with the police compelling his lawyers to enter another negotiation with the police officers to reschedule the meeting.

“Due to some circumstances our chairman could not make it so we came in here to plead with the police to give us some time to be able to come with our client,” Mr. Amaliba told the media.

He added that the police have reschedule another meeting, “however, they will get back to us with the [new] date and time,” he added.


Background

Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo had been invited by the CID over leaked taped in which a voice believed to be his, was heard making very damning comments in an alleged meeting with party members.

Mr Ofosu Ampofo in the tape revealed that party militia groups were brought to the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election by both parties – NPP and NDC.

Contrary to earlier claims, the Chairman is heard saying that members of NDC-aligned militia group, Azorka Boys, were brought from Tamale to the constituency.

These and the many other comments heard on the tape sparked outrage and the Police proceeded to request the presence of the Chairman.

Subsequently, a letter dated February 27, invited the Chairman to the CID office on Thursday at 10:00 am but he never showed up.
