The tough-talking NDC politician was picked up at the Accra International Press Center by plain-clothed officers.
The NDC was having a press conference to react to the controversial Ghana-US Military Cooperation agreement when the arrest was done.
About 16 officers besieged the press center to effect the arrest.
Mr. Anyidoho was seen seated at the back of a vehicle flanked by the NDC National Chairman Kofi Portuphy and the General Secretary and were driven to the police headquarters.
Anyidoho in an interview with Happy FM Monday said a series of activities to unsettle the Akufo-Addo government take off on Wednesday, March 28, 2018 with a planned nationwide demonstration.
“Somebody should tell Nana Akufo-Addo that history has a very interesting way of repeating itself,” the NDC firebrand said.
“On the January 13, 1972 a certain Col. Ignatius Kutu Acheampong led a movement that removed the Progress Party from power. Busia was the Prime Minister and Akufo-Addo’s father was a ceremonial president. Somebody should tell Nana Akufo-Addo that history has a very interesting way of repeating itself.
“There’ll be a civil revolt. There’ll be a people’s movement. During President John Mahama’s tenure didn’t we receive similar threats from the likes of Let My Vote Count and OccupyGhana,” the former presidential spokesperson opined.
He added: “There’ll be a civilian coup d’etat; there’ll be a social revolution and the movement is starting on Wednesday. He [Akufo-Addo] will be fed up at the Presidency.”
Information Minister, Mustapha Hamid suggested earlier that the comments demanded an investigation by the security services.
Koku Anyidoho justified his stance in an interview with Morning Starr Monday, stating that he stands by his comments adding that there is nothing wrong with a civil coup.
“I said history has an interesting way of repeating itself…we are revolting against the President and what is wrong with that…who is talking about military takeover? We won’t allow the sovereignty of the nation to be taken for granted,” Anyidoho told host Francis Abban.
