The National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, has alleged that Richard Jakpa, the third accused person in the now-discontinued ambulance procurement case, was among those involved in the raid on the home of former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta.
His comments come after CCTV images emerged capturing the moment a group of individuals allegedly raided Ofori-Atta’s private residence in Cantonments, Accra, on Tuesday, February 11, while he was out of the country receiving medical care.
Eyewitnesses claim the group consisted of about 12 individuals—five in military uniforms, one in a police uniform, and the rest in plain clothes.
Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, where the NPP condemned the raid, Mr. Boakye referred to the video footage, which shows twelve individuals, including a police officer, four military personnel, and seven unidentified men in plain clothes.
He emphasized that Richard Jakpa’s presence during the raid is particularly significant, given his role as the third accused in the well-known ambulance trial case.
“All those involved were heavily armed,” he said, questioning the legitimacy of the raid given the involvement of both military and other law enforcement personnel.
