One of the new recruits of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) who has started making ugly noises on some radio networks in the capital has been arrested by the police for running away with a rented car!

Information reaching the Daily Searchlight indicates that one Dr. G.A. Pele, who is part of the Communications Team of the NDC, was playing hide and seek with Link Car Rentals, having escaped with one of their vehicles. Even though he initially went there to hire the car, he then escaped with it, and has since been cruising the length and breadth of the country with it, racking up over two thousand dollars in bills!

Information has it that Mr. Pele rented a four wheel Skoda Octavia (wine color) vehicle from the company for use for a few days, but rather escaped with the car for nearly a month and did not return it until he was arrested. By the time he was arrested, he had racked a bill of $2,800.20 dollars. Since his arrest and bail, he has defaulted in the payment.

This newspaper learned from sources close to the Tesano Police Station that G.A Pele says that he is working for Richard Quashigah, the NDC Propaganda Secretary and also the Trade and Industry Ministry.

He has handing around complimentary cards saying that he is a member of the Brand Ghana Steering Committee under the Trade and Industry Ministry and that the ministry will offset the bill at the appropriate time.

According to the owner of the Rental Car Company Mr. Seth Oduro Debrah all attempts made for Mr. Pele to pay the said amount proved futile, he was therefore left with no other option than to report the matter to the Tesano police.

Sources close to the Tesano police station confirmed the story and said the matter is been handled by commander P.A Ayisi who has interrogated Mr. Pele over the issue and investigations are still underway.
