Head of legal team for Ofosu Ampofo, Abraham Amaliba, says the party still stands by the fact that the tape involving the National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Ofosu Ampofo has been doctored.
The Criminal Investigative Department of Ghana Police has placed two charges on the NDC National Chairman, Ofosu Ampofo. The charges are conspiracy to commit crime to wit kidnapping and conspiracy to commit crime to wit Threat of harm.
But speaking to Ekourba Gyasi on Atinka AM Drive, Abraham Amaliba stated that the party is happy that the matter is heading to court since cases are not tried by the police.
“Detecting whether or not the supposed tape is doctored remains the hurdle of the Police and not that of the NDC… We will go to court and see how the matter will unfold. Ofosu Ampofo will only defend himself if it is established that the leaked tape is that of the NDC Chairman,” he said.
Background
A leaked audio recording which went viral exposed some intents by NDC chairman, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo against the Chairman of Peace Council, Professor Emmanuel Antwi and others.
In the said tape, Ofosu Ampofo promised to endorse verbal attacks on the respected clergyman.
The NDC chairman made the deadly pronouncements during a communication meeting at the NDC headquarters in Adabraka days after the Ayawaso West Wuogon by election.
Present at the said meeting were, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, Minority Leader, Haruna Addrisu, Sammy Gyamfi, Alfred Ogbamey, former Public Relations Officer for Ghana Gas and other NDC big shots.
After the audio went viral, the leaders of the opposition NDC who described the tape as maliciously depraved added that it has been doctored tape by some devious elements in the NPP and government to undermine the NDC and its National Chairman.
According to the NDC them, the statements and attributions contained on the said tape are concocted and false.
