In a Facebook post, he said “This blatant use of National Security to settle personal scores must stop. It’s evil and a complete affront to our democracy.”

Dr Manteaw was reacting to the allegation that Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin made that some money could not be found after Richard Jakpa led national security operatives stormed the home of former Governor of Bank of Ghana Dr Ernest Addison in Roman Ridge, Accra, on Wednesday, March 19.

The operatives reportedly disabled the CCTV system before conducting their search.

“Some GHC10,000 on his bed could not be found. So some of these hungry party foot soldiers they use who parade themselves as National Security Operatives are after all perhaps not being paid, and they use this opportunity to steal,” Afenyo-Markin claimed.

He added “The governor’s wife’s earrings and necklaces were also not traced. They couldn’t be found. In other words, those operatives stole these earrings and necklaces. Ghana is a matured democracy, and we should do better.”
