It has emerged that Samuel Baah, a Literature teacher at the Suhum Presbyterian Senior High School who's parading himself as a Free SHS Ambassador is only extorting money from people for reasons best known to him.

This revelation comes after opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) expressed displeasure over a viral video in which he (Samuel Baah) purported to be an ambassador of government’s flagship Free SHS policy was seen actively campaigning at a second cycle institution.

The NDC in a statement signed by its National Communications Officer, Sammy Gyamfi said" “We in the NDC are appalled and disgusted by this act of political desperation on the part of the Akufo-Addo government, especially at a time when the Ghana Education Service claims to have outlawed all politically-related activities on the campuses of Senior High Schools".

But, a deep throat source revealed that Samuel Baah is a wolf in sheep's clothing. According to the source, Baah was once an NDC branch chairman at Koforidua-Okorase, but left the NDC and formed a "Shirt & Blouse" campaign prior to the 2016 polls to vote against the NPP.

When the NPP won the 2016 general election, Samuel Baah reportedly managed to get close the Suhum Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Margret Darko Darkwah; and was carrying himself as Personal Assistant and Media Aide to the MCE.

Revealing what could be the 'dirtiest secret', the source said Samuel Baah "embezzled some funds and ended up impregnating the MCE's cousin, which led to his firing".

He reportedly "used his alien to the MCE as an opportunity to brand his car and formed the Free SHS Ambassador team which most of the party members and those at the headteachers in Suhum precisely are not happy about".

"Since the formation of his group, he has been chasing some government officials for endorsements and also soliciting for money to finance their events", it added.

Samuel Baah is also said to have "been using the money for his personal gains which the Suhum NPP Constituency Executives got wind of it and ordered him to account for monies extorted from some persons such as the MP for the area, Frederick Opare-Ansah, Michael Luguje, Director General, Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority amongst others".

It said: "He recently bused over 50 students from Suhum to Koforidua to meet President Akufo Addo during his visit. He attempted to get the attention of the President to speak and take photographs with the students but it didn't yield results".

In a related development, the NPP Secretary for the Suhum constituency, Ernest Lartey who is not happy with the general conduct of Samuel Baah, has also accused him of extorting monies from persons from both sides of the political divide to suit his parochial interest.

Ernest Lartey in a statement said: “Due to his wanton and demonic love for money, he has set up a bogus organisation called “Ambassadors of Free SHS” and using that as an avenue for extorting and exploiting naive prominent persons of money for his malicious intent”.

It added “A living testimony is when he organised some SHS students from Suhum to visit Parliament on the theme “Visiting your Working MP” of which Mr Opare-Ansah fully and wholly financed the cost 100% but Gosh in a statement to appreciate his sponsors, also went ahead acknowledging other people he also took monies from”.

Mr Lartey, who described Samual Baah as an ingrate is, therefore, demanding him to tell the world what he did with the monies he has extorted from people.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Education in its Press Release on Thursday, October 31, 2019, stated emphatically that the government has not appointed of mandated any persons as Free SHS Ambassadors to go round Senior High School campuses in the country to campaign for President Akufo-Addo.

"The Ministry is conducting investigations to ascertain the facts surrounding the video circulating on social media and other related issues", the statement added.
