The Bureau of Public Safety (BPS) has called on government to provide more details on the alleged coup by some persons in Accra.
Government on Monday announced a planned attack on the Jubilee House has been detected and foiled by a combined team of CID and BNI operatives.
The planned attack was intended to destabilize the country, government said in a statement.
The statement said three people including Dr Frederick Yao Mac-Palm, owner of Citadel Hospital and his two accomplices – Mr Ezor Kafui (a local weapon manufacturer) and Mr Bright Allan Debrah Ofosu (aka BB or ADC) were arrested on Friday, 20 September 2019 at Accra and Bawaleshie near Dodowa.
According to the Executive Director of the BPS, Nana yaw Akwada, government has failed to provide more details of happenings, which he opines is creating tension.
Speaking to Starr News, he said “you cannot issue a presser with all these deficiencies and then ask us that when we go to bed, we should sleep. We can’t sleep. And if you cannot provide answers to these questions immediately, we have every right to reject that statement as not credible and thus go about our daily lives peacefully.”
He added “you must also understand that these things, apart from having the potential to inform and even inspire real action in that direction, they also have economic consequences. It can bar our economy to the extent that it will create that enabling environment that will necessitate an uprising or a destabilization.”
Meanwhile, a private legal practitioner representing some three people arrested for attempting to overthrow the government says not all the weapons exhibited by the government belong to his clients.
Victor Adawudu in an interview with Starr News stated that his clients completely deny owning most of the weapons found at the Citadel Hospital and exhibited by the government to back its claims that his clients were attempting to destabilize the country.
