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.

Ghanaians are funny people. The man has given enough clue about what happened and how he was contracted to kill the MP. Now that he is saying he was hired by some NPP men to kill the MP these wicked NPP guys are saying he is mad and not consistent. Are we serious in this country? In any serious country he would have been intorregated to mention names. The CID boss is in the pocket of the President so she cant do anything to come out with the facts. Politics and the urge to stay in power is destroying this country
there is some political element involved in the murder of the man no doubt. but this guy can not be trusted with what he is saying. i am sure whoever hired him will never tell him the truth. he is just confuse. i hope he mention the names of those involved. this is the kind of cases that stup1@d Anas shd help investigate. but his small brain can only think of entrapping ple.
Kennedy Agyepong has threatened to expose the NPP, could this be one of the ways?
Why is he mentioning political partices and not the individuals who hired him. Govt act fast pls.
JOHN MAHAMA AND NDC DID EVERYTHING BEFORE LEAVING OFFICE TO HINDER PROSECUTION OF THIS NDC HIRED ASSASSIN. ASIEDU ACCORDING TO RELIABLE SOURCES WAS DRUGGED AND PAID HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY TO HOLD ON TO THEIR COACHED STORY THAT NPP MEMBERS ARE BEHIND THE KILLING! STATE PROSECUTORS MUST USE ENHANCED INTERROGATION TO GET HARD FACTS FROM THIS HIRED ASSASSIN. THE SECURITY AGENCIES AND PROSECUTORS UNDER JOHN MAHAMA & NDC KILLED THE CASE BEFORE THE NPP ASSUMED OFFICE, NANA ADDO AND NPP SHOULDN'T HESITATE TO SEEK FOREIGN EXPERTISE LIKE THOSE OF THE FBI, INTERPOL AND THE SCOTLAND YARD!!!!!
