NPP Deploys Cyber Terrorists for 2016

MAHAMA SPIED ON (Part 1)

President’s phone calls, internet and ‘safe houses’ targeted

The ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) and political pundits observing the current challenging economic situation in the country may conclude that the 2016 elections is going to be fought basically on the issues of the economy and to some extent corruption, this paper can however authoritatively state that they may all be in for a shocker.

With last Sunday’s predictable landslide victory by the NPP twice defeated flag bearer, Nana Akufo Addo, the intelligence gathering team of The aL-hAJJ can reveal that sabotage, espionage and electronic surveillance including wiretaps and eavesdropping against certain institutions and individuals including President Mahama will be actively deployed by certain elements within the opposition to get the upper-hand at the polls.

Months of clandestine investigations backed by testimonies of some secret agents within and outside this country have revealed an elaborate strategy by the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) to electronically monitor President Mahama including hacking into his domestic and international calls and internet activities such as facebook, e-mails, twitter, whatsapp and what have you.

The main objectives of these illegal communications surveillance according to information available to The aL-hAJJ is to know what the President and people in his inner circle are about at any time in order to help fashion out a strategy that would help their campaign to defeat the President and his NDC party at the polls in the December 2016 elections. According to the sources, wealthy and influential members of the NPP including some of those suspected of dealing in illicit drug business both in Ghana and abroad have gone to the extent of recruiting moles within the inner circle of the President and the NDC in order to feed them with the necessary information on how to outwit the NDC at the polls.

The source pointed out that “to them the human intelligence aspect is the most important aspect of espionage and so they have mobilized huge amount of money to fund that aspect of ‘operations’ in order to find ways of embarrassing the President and his government.” “They intend infiltrating all the major safe houses the President visits in this country, foremost among them are the Peduasi Lodge and some three or four other safe houses around Cantonments and Airport Residential areas in Accra. In fact his own office at the Flag Staff House is not safe either as some agents within that seat of government have been recruited to spy on the President and his inner circle. A lot of the agents or spies are cloaked as civil servants and security officers at the Flag Staff House but are really working effectively for the opposition. What is not clear is whether some key members of President Mahama’s administration are actively taking part in the plot.

“Some members of the President entourage are said to be compromised to place secret cameras and recorders in and around those safe houses that the President visits with the intention of recording all the activities of the President, including his flirtations or romance with members of the opposite sex. “In fact they are even targeting some of the hotels he domiciles when he travels outside the country and locally the regional residencies across the country have also been infiltrated and huge amounts of monies were said to have been paid to some of the recruited agents there.. “They are bent on disgracing and humiliating this President before the 2016 elections. They were said to have secured the most modern electronic monitoring gadgets and the most sensitive secret recorders you can find anywhere in the world.

“Should they succeed in getting any evidence of the President in an uncompromising way, they are likely to use it as a tool of blackmail and political propaganda in the run up to the elections. “Yes, the aim is to use every means available to them to paint the President black in order to get advantage over him even before the polls,” the source said on condition of anonymity.

One of the agents who spoke to The aL-hAJJ’s monitoring team said “they also are eager to find out how in their words proceeds of corrupt activities or simply corrupt or looted monies are concealed within and outside the country.” They suspected that huge amount of monies are stashed in some of the President’s safe houses and so their intension is to place the secret cameras to unearth all those concealments in order to use the evidence to embarrass the President.

However, a source close to President Mahama dismissed this claims and said the President is neither corrupt nor involved in any attempts at concealing any proceeds of any corrupt activity. “The President is as clean as anything you can think about and so any attempt at unraveling anything fishy would be an exercise in futility. “Those who think they can employ cyber terrorism to win the 2016 should have a re-think because the President has nothing to hide to the people of Ghana and so they would be better off if they can find something better to do with their time. “The people of Ghana would hopefully renew his mandate despite the current challenges the national economy is facing. “As we have been saying, the challenges we face now are temporary and we will surmount them in the coming days for people to get a relief,” the source said.

A noisy member of the NPP and now running an international political institution and an assign of their 2012 flag bearer, Nana Akufo-Addo, who also recently rounded up his activities in the country and relocated to one of the European countries is said to be part of this stratagem. The aL-hAJJ is still investigating him and will put his name and his modus operandi out once our investigations is completed.

He was said to have used his links across the globe to mobilize an army of retired secret agents of some of the most powerful countries on the surface of earth. These include the United States, Israel, the UK and South Africa. These retired secret service agents, who are said to be working with some of the private security contractors in the aforesaid countries have been mobilized into five main cells with responsibility in various continents. The cell in the United States takes charge of all the countries in the North and South America, the UK cell manages the whole of Europe including Russia, the one in South Africa takes care of the whole of Africa and that of Israel takes charge of Asia and the Middle East. The Ghanaian cell, which is the biggest, receives whatever intelligence information that is being gathered by these aforesaid cells, processed them as political propaganda to be used against the President and his party the NDC in the run up to the 2016 elections.

Apart from some few Ghanaians, almost all the Staff of these cells are former members of the intelligence services of the countries mentioned above, but now working in the private sector. “They are carefully drawn from the Israeli Mossad, the South African Secret Service (SASS), the British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) usually called MI6 and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of the United States. Those in Ghana were drawn from ex members of the Ghana’s National Security popularly called the Blue Gate. They were said to have served under President Kufuor but now very loyal to Nana Akufo-Addo.

The NPP are eager to unseat President Mahama in 2016 and they think all modern strategies should be adopted to achieve their objectives including illegal electronic surveillance and cyber-terrorism. “They are very much aware of the exploits of Mr Raymond Archer in the run up to the 2008 elections where the NPP and their security set up were infiltrated leaving them naked and vulnerable”, the source revealed.

Mr Archer, through the use of modern intelligence gathering techniques was able to unearth numerous dirty tactics the NPP was intending to use to win the 2008 election. These include dumping some dead bodies in Volta Region to create security crisis and anarchy paving the way for them to illegally retain power. Thus, according to sources familiar with the NPP’s current strategy, they intend to do more than ten times what Mr. Archer had done in 2008 in order to ensure victory for their beleaguered flag bearer, Nana Akufo-Addo. They were said to have raised huge amount of money from some of their wealthy supporters both within and outside the country for these clandestine activities.

The aL-hAJJ’s sources were unable to confirm if the newly Research Committee for the Akufo Addo/NPP campaign mostly, composed of the flag bearer’s loyalists is part of the Ghana cell. Fourteen eminent members of the NPP have been named to a newly established research committee among them include, Akufo Addo’s strategic henchman, Victor Newman, Rashid Bawa, Dr. Twumasi and David Annan. Others include Lawyer O.B Amoah, Mad. Sharika Issahaque, Catherine Afeku, Dr Nana Afriyie Ayew and Alhaji Alhassan. The rest are Ambassador Mensa Bonsu, Hon Kwasi Amoako Atta, Dr. Raouf, Hon Matthew Prempeh and Dr Boakye Agyarko.

Another source also told The aL-hAJJ that some of the corrupt Nigerian politicians and businessmen have also provided the needed financial support to this campaign of espionage against the Ghanaian government and President Mahama and they intend reaping the dividends if and when the party comes to power. Stay tuned.
