President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has urged former Special Prosecutor Martin Amidu to provide details of persons who have threatened him so that the police can take appropriate legal action against them.
Reacting to claims by Mr Amidu that some unscrupulous persons have threatened to burn his houses and kill him, the President asked that he provide details so that the persons can be dealt with within the constraints of the Law by the Ghana Police Service.
“The former Special Prosecutor is also encouraged to assist the police with details of persons who have made these threats against his life, so that they can be dealt with in accordance with the laws of the country,” a statement from the Office of the President noted.
Meanwhile the President has directed the Inspector General of Police to provide Mr Amidu with 24-hour police protection following his revelation that his life being under threat.
“The attention of the Office of the President has been drawn to claims by Mr Martin Amidu, the former Special Prosecutor, of threats made against his life since his resignation from office. The President has, thus, directed the Inspector General of Police to provide Mr Amidu immediately with 24 hour police protection,” the statement said.
Mr Amidu, who resigned as Special Prosecutor last Monday, had alleged that his life is under threat.
