The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has directed the Inspector General of Police to provide Mr Amidu with 24-hour police protection following his revelation that his life is under threat after his resignation as Special Prosecutor.
“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,” a statement from the Office of the President announced.
The President has also encouraged him to give details of the persons who have threatened him for prompt action by the police.
“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 added.
Mr Amidu had earlier today revealed that his life was under threat following his resignation as Special Prosecutor last Monday.
