Chairman for Parliaments defence and Interior Committee, Hon Seth Acheampong who is also the member of parliament for the Mpraeso Constituency says the security agencies must be very detailed in trying to prove the alleged coup attempts by three suspects currently standing trial.

The member of Parliament in an interview with Citi Fm monitored by ghanaguardian.com says that the relevant security institutions must resort to the rule of law in the handling of this precarious matter.

“I am not able to blame anybody conclusively because it is still a work in progress. Investigations are still ongoing. The people have been put before a law court. This is certainly a country governed by rule of law and for me, this is the procedure to follow and the path is on. Due process is up.”

Last Friday news emerged that the owner and medical practitioner of Alajo based Citadel Hospital had been picked up by some security personnel.

But on Monday government came out with a statement detailing the involvement of some three persons in an alleged coup plot.

Dr Frederick Yao Mac-Palm, owner of Citadel Hospital and his two accomplices – Mr Ezor Kafui (a local weapon manufacturer) and Mr Bright Allan Debrah Ofosu (aka BB or ADC) were arrested on Friday, 20 September 2019 at Accra and Bawaleshie near Dodowa.

The government’s press statement on Monday, 23 September 2019, said: “A joint security operation of personnel drawn from Defence Intelligence, CID and Bureau of National Investigations (BNI), conducted a successful operation which led to the arrest of three persons and the retrieval of several arms, explosive devices and ammunition from locations in Accra”.

The three Dr.Frederick Yao Mac Palm,Donya Kafui and Bright Allan Debrah Fosu were yesterday charged and remanded by a district court in Accra for conspiracy to manufacture arms and ammunitions without lawful authority,possession of explosives without lawful authority and manufacture of fire arms without lawful authority.

Although the pleas of the accused persons are yet to be taken by the court but have been remanded to appear at a later date.
