LATEST: Koku Anyidoho Spends Night In CID Custody....Charged With Treason!

Deputy General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho will spend the night in the custody of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service for comments government has described as “treasonable.”

Peacefmonline sources say Mr Anyidoho will not be released after investigators slapped a charge of treason against him.

"Arrest" & Refusal To Sit In Police Vehicle

Koku Anyidoho was arrested in a rather dramatic fashion during the day, when an explosive audio which captured him making seditious comments and inciting civilians to launch a coup d’etat against the Akufo-Addo government, went viral.

A dozen armed men in pickups and a V8 vehicle, besieged the premises of the Ghana International Press Centre in Accra at about 1:25pm Tuesday afternoon to effect the arrest of the NDC capo.

He refused to sit in the police pick-up and was escorted on foot to the CID headquarters, a few metres away from the press centre,  accompanied by the NDC General Secretary Asiedu Nketiah and National Chairman Kofi Portuphy.

Koku, it is understood, was at the Press centre together with other NDC Executives and several other opposition leaders belonging to the Progressive Forces, to hold a news conference to condemn the government for ratifying a security cooperation deal with the United States of America.

Undisclosed Location

Reliable sources hinted to Peacefmonline that "The Bull", as the NDC firebrand is affectionately called, has been moved to an undisclosed location.

Police Brutality Or Crowd Obstinacy?

Moments after his "arrest" and prior to his being charged, Peacefmonline.com understands that the Police were compelled to fire rubber bullets to disperse the agitated crowd gathered at the Police Headquarters in solidarity with Mr. Anyidoho.

The crowd were said to have resisted pleas by the Police officers to vacate the premises.

Why Ghanaians Are So Slow To Bury Their Dead - BBC

In our series of letters from African journalists, writer Elizabeth Ohene considers why bodies are not buried for months, sometimes years, in Ghana. This past week there was another one of those typically Ghanaian funeral stories in the news. The body of a chief who had died six years ago was still in the morgue as the family bickered over who should be designated as the "chief mourner". I was, as is usual with me, outraged. But the story did not attract much attention because we regularly leave dead bodies in the morgue for long periods to sort out the disputes that erupt after every death in this country. Our elaborate, expensive funerals and over-the-top dramatically carved caskets are well documented. In spite of the keen interest I have taken in trying to work out how funerals came to have such a hold on our society, there are some things that I still cannot understand after all these years. Fantasy coffins I have to keep on trying to find explanations.
