Koku Anyidoho charged with treason, refused police bail

The Police Criminal Investigations Department has charged the deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress Koku Anyidohu with treason, and refused bail.

His lawyer, Victor K. Adawudu confirmed the charge on TV3’s News360 almost 8 hours after the Police CID in Accra picked him up for interrogation over comments he made suggesting an imminent coup d’état in the country.

“We’ve been told that he’s being investigated for treason” he said, indicating his client was then made to give a statement on the matter after which he was charged but was declined bail.

“After the statement the police are telling us they’ve not received instructions to bail [Koku Anyidoho]. We don’t really work with instruction. What does the law say?” his lawyer told Alfred Ocansey.

Mr. Adawuda questioned why the police are waiting for instructions to decide whether grant them bail or otherwise.

“After statement its either you take bail or you tell us you’re not granting us bail for reason ABC and if you want to charge us for court, charge us but you don’t say you waiting for instructions to grant bail that means the instructions come from somewhere; a political authority and we will not allow that to happen in this country,” he said.

“We are all here until they tell us they will grant us bail or they will not grant us bail. We will not succumb. We are ready, let the guns fly we will stand,” he added

The NDC firebrand, Koku Anyidoho, suggested in a radio interview Monday, March 26 that there would be ‘civil revolt’ and ‘civilian coup d’état’ in the country from Wednesday, March 28.
