A group calling itself Concerned Teachers and Youth for Ghana is calling on the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) to, with immediate effect, arrest Frank Omari Wadie over his comments which they claim, threatens the life of President Mahama.

The former NPP Chairman for the Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency commenting on the call on President Mahama to pardon the Montie trio said: "if President Mahama dares to evoke his prerogative of mercy, what happened to the late Mills will happen to him.

“He should not dare pardon the trio, but if he thinks he is [a] man and understands the law, he should go ahead and pardon them. If he releases them, by the next election, he will not be the president ... I'm telling you that, if he dares, he will not be the president.”

The group in their statement said, “We see this defamatory statement from him to be tantamount to a threat and a possible plot from the camp of Omari Wadie to assassinate the president.”

The statement added, “Mr. Wadie must be arrested to explain what he meant by "what happened to Mills will happen to Mahama” because what happened to Mills in blessed memory in 2012 was that he passed on.

“We don't want to believe that Omari Wadie is bigger than the laws of the land, we are therefore calling for his immediate arrest and be dealt with according to the provisions of the law.”

PRESS RELEASE

(10TH AUGUST, 2016)

CONCERNED TEACHERS AND YOUTH FOR GHANA

BNI Must Arrest Frank Omari Wadie with Immediate Effect.

We the above-mentioned group are calling on national security to arrest Mr. Omari Wadie following careless, childish, immoral, threatening, malicious and slanderous statement made against the President John Dramani Mahama.

He made this statement on "Eboboba" a local political talk show hosted by Kwabena Agyapong on Rainbow Radio. Mr. Omari Wadie was on this program yesterday on the issue of the Montie 3.

Now when he was asked to bring his view on the said issue, the vociferous politician decided to dare the president not to pardon them or else what happened to President Mills in 2012 will reincarnate.

He said that the president will not make it to December 7th should he pardon the Montie 3.

We see this defamatory statement from him to be tantamount to a threat and a possible plot from the camp of Omari Wadie to assassinate the president.

Mr. Wadie must be arrested to explain what he meant by "what happened to Mills will happen to Mahama" because what happened to Mills in blessed memory in 2012 was that he passed on.

We don't want to believe that Omari Wadie is bigger than the laws of the land, we are therefore calling for his immediate arrest and be dealt with according to the provisions of the law. Say no to threat on the life of the first gentleman of the land.
