UK Metro Police pursue NPP candidate

The New Patriotic Party’s parliamentary candidate for the Upper Manya krobo Constituency, Moses Tetteh Berimah, has been plunged into a losing battle by a sexual harassment scandal in which his own loudmouth bears witness against him.

Mr Berimah, on Tuesday, last week, summarily dismissed attempts by The Enquirer to get his side of the allegations that he had threatened to hunt down a Ghanaian domiciled in the United Kingdom (UK) because of the refusal of that man’s wife to have an affair with him.

In a phone interview, Mr Berimah dismissed The Enquirer’s line of questioning by saying that, “Anything that man tells you is a lie…I won’t comment any further,” before he cut his line.

But his denial falls flat in the face of recorded evidence of his threats on the life of Edward Dongotey Dongoyoe, a Ghanaian domiciled in the UK, with membership to the UK/Ireland branch of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

In addition to promising to “work on” Mr Dongoyoe, Mr Berimah’s voice is captured in various voicemails that he left on a UK telephone line of Mr Dongoyoe, on Tuesday 10th January, 2012, boasting himself as a proud alley cat, whose sexual partner was Mr Dongoyoe’s wife (name withheld).

“You are a coward, if you were not a coward you should have picked this phone, you don’t hide behind and be fooling. The woman you think is your wife; I slept with her a week ago before I came to America through UK.

“I am coming back to the UK and I will call you. I called you on my UK number about a week ago if you could remember, I am coming to UK and I will deal with you. I am telling you that woman you think is your wife, I slept with her in her own room a week ago before I came so stop fooling, and if you want a woman to marry, look for a new woman,” a 10th January, 2012, 12:251 am voicemail sent to Mr Dongoyoe by Mr Berimah plays back.

Following the dismissal of the evidence by the NPP parliamentary candidate that the voice was not his, The Enquirer got through to Mrs (name withheld), who confirmed that the aspiring MP had indeed boasted of his claimed infidelity with her, but said the boasts were empty lies.

Indeed, the woman told The Enquirer that she had reported the allegation to the Women and Juvenile Unit of the Akuse Police in 2011 as part of general harassment that the aspiring MP had subjected her to.

She said, even though she was given a police invitation letter to be given to Mr Berimah, she could not do so, because the man whom she had jilted after she found out he was a womanizer, with wife and kid with various women, had become so aggressive towards her that she thought she was capable of harming her if she attempted to give him the police invite.

The relationship with the NPP Parliamentary candidate had turned sour, following his marriage to Mr Dongoyoe in the first quarter of 2011. Since then, the aspirant had taken to harassing her, without success, which fruitlessness annoyed him to threaten Mr Dogoyoe himself.

The NPP candidate told The Enquirer in an interview that all the allegations against him were false.

His wife, Mrs Dina Berimah, corroborated the husband’s denial in an interview with The Enquirer, claiming that the allegations were trumped up by Mr Dongoyoe, who was trying to score cheap political points against her husband.
