Staging A Coup Doesn’t Require A Full Ammunition Depot – Antwi-Danso

Dr Vladimir Antwi-Danso, a Security Analyst, has urged Ghanaians to be open-minded about the alleged plot by some persons to destabilize the nation, saying, an armoury is not needed to successfully remove a government.

Dr. Fredrick Yao Mac-Palm, a medical practitioner, Ezor Kafui, a local weapons manufacturer, and bright Allan Debrah Ofosu (aka BB), a freight forwarder, have been arrested and detained in connection with the reported destabilization plot.

Dr. Antwi-Danso, the Dean of Academic Affairs of the Ghana Armed Forces Staff College, said people should not just look at the quantum of weapons retrieved from the arrested persons but to also critically examine whether there was a conspiracy to overthrow government or not.

"Who knows what they have done around Accra and across the country so that with any slightest spark or torch, it will begin to flame all over.”

Dr. Antwi-Danso was speaking in an interview with the Ghana News Agency on the arrest of three men over their alleged plot to overthrow the Presidency.

They were on Tuesday, September 24, arraigned at a Kaneshie District Court, and jointly charged with conspiracy to commit crime, manufacturing of arms and ammunition, as well as illegal possession of explosives, arms and ammunition.

They were remanded into the custody of the Bureau of National Investigation Department (BNI) and will make their next appearance on Wednesday, October 9.
