The Criminal Investigations Department of the Ghana Police Service has described as “baseless”, “unsubstantiated” and without “credibility”, corruption allegations made against Deputy Chiefs of Staff Samuel Jinapor and Francis Asenso-Boakye musician A Plus.
According to the CID, A Plus, who is a staunch supporter of the governing New Patriotic Party and President Nana Akufo-Addo, could not substantiate the allegations.
Last month, A Plus made unspecified corruption claims against the two young politicians on his Facebook page and dared to expose them if they challenged him.
President Akufo-Addo later referred the matter to the CID for investigations.
But a statement issued and signed by the Director General of the Police CID, Bright Oduro said after weeks of investigations it was evident the allegations by A Plus lack credibility.
The Police CID activated its investigative proceedings and found as follows;
“That on August 27, 2017 A Plus made allegations of corruption and thievery against Messers Asenso Boakye and Jinapor on his facebook post.
“The allegations of thievery was dropped by A-Plus but that of corruption was maintained,” the statement said.
When probed further on the issue of corruption A Plus cited an intervention by the two Chiefs of Staff on a matter involving the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.
“That following a petition by Unibank Ghana Limited to the effect that the management of Korle Bu had abrogated an existing MOU with them without any reason and that the Korle Bu had not treated them fairly, Messers Asenso-Boakye and Jinapor among others intervened to seek clarity from the hospital’s management regarding the said petition,” the statement said.
