The National Democratic Congress parliamentary candidate for Agona West, Paul Ofori Amoah has confessed to issuing two cheques to four suspects arrested by Ghanaian Police in connection to an alleged plot to assassinate the Member of Parliament for the Area, Cynthia Mamle Morrison.

Mr Amoah who is being interrogated by the Central Regional Police owned up to the police that he was the person who issued the cheques found on the suspects at the time of their arrest.

While giving a briefing on the case, Regional Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Irene Serwaa Oppong , said the four suspects, Saddick Abubakar, Gordon Kunya, Isaac Addea, and Dauda Fatau were picked up by the police at a hotel at Swedru based on intelligence after they had received a formal complaint from the MP over a plot to assassinate her.

When the suspects were arrested at the hotel, the police retrieved from them items including a knife, a cutlass, a lighter and two packets of rizzler as well as two bank opened-cheques for GHC5000 each.

The investigation of the police established a connection to the NDC parliamentary candidate and subsequently invited him for questioning.

Mr Paul Amoah who laughed off earlier reports of his arrest in connection with the case, has eventually admitted to issuing the cheques, according to the police.

The four suspects have since appeared before a Cape Coast Circuit Court presided over by Her Lordship Dorinda Smith Arthur and have been remanded into custody to reappear on Friday, October 30, 2020.

According to DSP Oppong, the caution statement of Mr Amoah who is also currently in the custody of the police CID has been taken and he has subsequently been charged with abetment to commit crime (murder) and preparation to commit crime.

The Regional Police Command says it is continuing investigations into the matter and has appealed to the general public to volunteer relevant information to the police.
