Unknown gunmen have reportedly invaded the Hohoe residence of former Member of Parliament (MP) for Hohoe, John Peter Amewu.
At the time of the incident, Amewu was not home.
The former Minister for Railways Development confirmed the attack in an interview with Citi FM, stating that the assailants were armed.
Amewu, who is currently in Accra, said information gathered suggests the invasion occurred around 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
According to him, one of the assailants, when questioned, identified himself as a bailiff and claimed they were acting on “orders from above.”
He explained that the group insisted he was not properly elected in the 2020 election and that because the New Patriotic Party (NPP) was in power, President Akufo-Addo had influenced the Supreme Court’s decision to validate his election.
The attackers reportedly fired warning shots, sparking a confrontation with some of Amewu’s supporters.
“They said they were there to serve me a notice because I was not duly elected in 2020, hence their decision to serve me. And that the C.I. was not constitutional,” he stated.
Amewu expressed concerns over Ghana’s democratic practice, questioning whether government officials should be treated in such a manner.
He noted that the incident has been reported to the police but declined any protection.
