Wife, kids of nurse who threatened to burn Supreme Court beg for clemency
The family of Simon Ayamga, the 33-year-old nurse
who was arrested by operatives of the National
Security for allegedly threatening to burn down
the Supreme Court is on a hunger strike.

Children of the embattled nurse are said to have
refused intake of food since the arrest of their
father. Simon’s father said to be battling a
fractured leg, is poorly progressing in prognosis
upon hearing the arrest of his son.

Madam Eunice Adongo, wife of Simon Ayamga in an
interview narrated how it is becoming difficult
caring for the hunger-strike children as she
pleads on the state for clemency.

“The children have refused to eat. They keep
asking to know the whereabouts of their father.
Simon’s father is currently battling ill-health.
I am pleading for clemency. I only spoke to him
once since his arrest where he disclosed to me
that he is being held at the national headquarters
of the national security” the wife wept
uncontrollably as she narrated the ordeal.

Mr Ayamga, currently a postgraduate student at the
Kwame University of Science and Technology (KNUST)
was arrested by state security officials after he
was accused of making a statement tantamount to a
contempt of court relative to the ongoing election
petition. His lawyers say they have difficulties
locating his whereabouts.

His wife who expressed an outmost surprise
following his arrest noted that he has no such
character of threats.

Reports indicate that his aged mother is currently
going through a psychological trauma following her
son’s arrest and detention.

Executives of the TEIN branch of the KNUST in a
release apologized on behalf of the embattled
nurse and called on the state to release their
colleague who is said to be losing academically as
examination approaches.

The whereabouts of Simon Ayamga as well as
charge(s) preferred on him remains unclear.
