Man under threat for prophesying 85% victory for Mills

The man who walked in the offices of Asempa FM and prophesied that President John Evans Atta Mills will win 85 per cent of votes at the July National Delegates Congress of National Democratic Congress (NDC) said his life is under threat.

Yaw Atta Evans also prophesied on Thursday Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings would finish the race for the presidential slot of the NDC with a paltry 15 per cent of votes.

He returned to the offices of Asempa FM on Friday to complain that some five NDC members, one of whom he personally knew, threaten to pay him visit at Obuasi and beat him up if his prophesy came true.

Atta Evans said he, together with many party members, listened to the news of his prophecy on Asempa FM and later on Adom FM from the party headquarters at Kokomlemle in Accra.

He said after the news he headed towards the Kwame Nkrumah Circle Overhead Bridge but five men chased him and shouted his name, introduced themselves as party members and asked where exactly he lived in Obuasi and he told them.

Atta Evans said the five then asked why he gave a prophecy that would discourage Nana Konadu and her team from continuing with their campaign but he explained that it was not from him but from God.

He said the men then threatened to visit and beat him up if his prophecy came true.

But Atta Evans was disturbed, saying that when he prophesied the victory of President Mills over Dr. Kwesi Botchwey and over Dr. Ekow Spio-Garbrah, those same persons were happy but now they threaten him because his prophecy did not favour them.

He admonished the NDC members to shed of the image of intolerance imputed on the party, saying such threats only tend to reinforce that negative image.

Yaw Atta Evans said he did not hate Konadu but regarded her as the party’s mother, but he could not change the truth he saw in his vision.

He therefore called government’s attention to the threat on his life and also said he would report to the police.
