It has emerged that the police has more evidence than the WhatsApp messages implicating Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Dr Benjamin Agordzo, who’s been charged with abetment to commit treason for his alleged involvement in a coup plot.

Editor-in-chief of the New Crusading Guide Newspaper, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako, suggested the police has audio-visual evidence to back their claim.
Dr Agordzo, according to his lawyer, was accused of assisting the alleged leader of the coup plotters, Dr Frederick Yao Mac-Palm, through messages he sent on instant messaging platform, WhatsApp.

His lawyer, Martin Kpebu, maintained that his client sees his arrest and the subsequent charge using mere WhatsApp messages as a political witch-hunt.
But, speaking on Peace FM’s morning show, Kokrokoo, Wednesday, he said the fact that the police are using WhatsApp is immaterial.

What is of importance, the veteran journalist said, is the content of the communication on that platform.
“Kwame what if there is a link between the communication on WhatsApp and what is on the audiovisual,” Mr Baako quizzed.
The veteran journalist also revealed that, because the WhatsApp group was a closed one, the security agencies had to infiltrate to get the needed information for their arrest.
Mr Baako, however, condemned the Bureau of National Investigations’ decision not to allow ACP Agorzo’s family to see him.
