Gregory Afoko

Afoko family cries out
Recent comments by the Northern Regional Chairman
of the New Patriotic Party, Daniel Bugri Naabu,
did not only disgrace his political grouping –
the New Patriotic Party (NPP) – but has also
emboldened the family of Gregory Afoko, who is
standing trial in a court, to press for his
immediate release from prison custody.

Gregory Afoko, younger brother of suspended
national chairman of the NPP – Paul Afoko –
has been accused of killing the late Adams Mahama,
Upper East Regional chairman of the NPP; and for
almost two years has been on remand.

Family members of Gregory Afoko, including Paul
Afoko, has since the beginning of the case,
insisted that their brother was not responsible
for the death of the late Adams Mahama and called
on the police to do extra work to get the true
killers of the late party chairman.

At a press conference at Sandema in the Builsa
North District of the Upper East Region on May 15,
the family announced that Gregory Afoko was not
the killer of the late party chairman, but the
real killers of the late Adams Manama are walking
around freely, enjoying the goodies that the
NPP’s victory has come with.

The family, through a spokesperson, Robert Atong
Asekabta, mentioned Mr Daniel Bugri Naabu; the
Minister for Gender and Social Protection, Otiko
Afisa Djaba; the Upper East Regional Minister,
Rockson Bukari and the National Nasara
Coordinator, Kamal-deen Abdallah as people who
know about the murder of Adams Mahama, considering
the recent comments by Mr. Naabu and past comments
of the Nasara Coordinator after the death of
Mahama.

The family has called on the police to invite
these persons to assist in unraveling the killers
of Mr Mahama and if possible, be arrested just as
their brother, Gregory Afoko, was arrested and
being tried based on allegation.

“So, just as Gregory Afoko was arrested on the
allegation of someone, it is our humble plea to
the Ghana Police Service that Madam Otiko Djaba,
Mr. Rockson Bukari and Bugri Naabu himself be
arrested or invited by the police to assist them
in finding who actually killed Adams Mahama and
for what purpose. The law must be seen to be
applied equally to all manner of persons including
Bugri, Bukari and Otiko.

“The Police have not widened the net of their
investigations enough. For instance, some hours
after the night Adams Mahama sadly passed on, the
current National Nasara Co-ordinator of the NPP,
one Kamal Deen Abdulai, was heard in the media
saying that he had called to inform the late Adams
to take issues of his personal security seriously
and that he should be prayerful.”
