Former President John Dramani Mahama has condemned what he refers to as “the unprovoked attacks on NDC functionaries and supporters”.
Citing the raid which was carried out by some men said to be from the military, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) and national security on Wednesday at the premises of the NDC’s National Organiser, Kofi Adams, Mr. Mahama called for such actions to be put to an end.
“Yesterday the National Organiser of the NDC's residence was invaded by security men from the seat of Government, the Flagstaff House in his absence, in search of vehicles when they knew very well they were on the wrong path. This must end,” he wrote on his Facebook wall Thursday morning.
Speaking on Asempa FM, Mr. Kofi Adams disclosed that fifteen men in military attires wielding AK47s stormed his house and confiscated five vehicles from his residence at the Tema Golf City.
Three Pick-Ups – two belonging to his brother – as well as a Land Cruiser, and another car of a make he could not readily recall were taken by the soldiers who claimed were acting on the orders of the Interior Minister, Albert Kan Dapaah.
They reportedly added that the vehicles were suspected to belong to the state and were taken to the Flagstaff House.
The NDC’s National Organiser who is currently in Dubai stated that he personally called Mr Kan-Dapaah to enquire if he, indeed, sent any soldiers on that assignment, but the Minister answered in the negative.

The Lion does not concern himself with the opinion of a sheep......Bam.
MR EX-PREPRESIDENT, WHAT WAS KOFI ADAMS DESIGNATION IN YOUR INCOMPETENT GOVERNMENT, AS FAR AS GHANAIANS KNOW NO PARTY PAYS IT'S FUNCTIONING EXECUTIVE WORKERS IT IS A VOLUNTORY WORK SO TO SAY AND I STAND TO BE CORRECTED? KOFI ADAMS HAS NEVER WORKED OFFICIALLY FOR MOTHER GHANA, TELL US THE MINISTRY HE'S WORKING TO ACQUIRE 5-CARS, THE LAST TIME I CHECKED HE'S BEEN SACKED BY HIS EMPLOYER JERRY JOHN RAWLINGS AS A SPOKE-PERSON. WE KNOW HE BOUGHT THOSE CAR FROM THE MISSING 7-BILLION GHANA CEDIES AND GHANA HAS TAKEN BACK WHAT BELONGS TO HER. NATIONAL SECURITY YOU DARE NOT TO RETURN THEM
All those who acquired properties suspected to be from corruption ought to be made to account BUT certainly not through such crude methods. Kofi Adams could be investigated and if it can be proved that having served the NDC all these years he could not acquire those properties he could be prosecuted. Ghana has passed this stage. If Kofi was around to resist this to the point of death, NPP would have to explain to the whole world why due procedure was not followed. Refer to the Let My Vote Count bruhaha, although demonstrators passed through an illegal route, the NDC government would have destroyed their records if any of those demonstrators lost his/her life. Illegality cannot be fought with illegality. It appears the NPP is so happy they have power that they cannot manage it. Inability to manage power can be very dangerous. People are taking power into their own hands and taking decisions that those entrusted with that power would feel ashamed off out of sheer vindictiveness. If with the explanation that they did the same to us, foot soldiers can interrupt School Feeding Program; if foot soldiers can take over toll booths; if foot soldiers can attempt to take over public places of convenience, the passport office etc then power, whether in the hands of NDC or NPP it does not appear to be in the right hands. Let us conduct ourselves so that we can say to the world that we went through a smooth transition.
Mahama, don't worry, more seizures will follow.
You are complaining right after you and your brother gave my partner from Brazil fake documents and seized our gold at the airport and Ibrahim drove it to your house and now you're talking ***barred word***. You are next to be checked I will now start the case fresh at the court again
BIRDS OF THE SAME FEATHERS FLOCK TOGETHER.

Kofi Adam had so much money in four years to buy a house at golf city and 5 vehicles and still had more money to go on Dubai vacation and u r not surprised? Hmmm thinking of Otiko now!
