Excavators: Frimpong-Boateng urges police to probe Peace FM reporter

The embattled Minister for Environment, Science and Technology Prof Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng has appealed to the Police to probe a journalist working with Accra-based Peace FM and a national security officer in the ongoing missing excavators saga.

In a letter to the Police, the minister claimed the reporter used his NIB bank account to receive and distribute proceeds of the alleged sale of the excavators.

Meanwhile, the Agona West constituency chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kojo Addo, who the Police say has been invited over the missing excavators’ saga has denied receiving any invitation from the state security agency.

According to him, the statement from the police was part of a grand scheme to frame the suspended deputy Central regional chair of the NPP Ekow Ewusi in the excavator scandal.“Ekow Ewusi’s arrest is a game plan they are using to create the impression that he is a criminal so they could use as basis to suspend him from the party

“Ekow Ewusi has not taken any excavator and I Kojo Addo, the NPP chairman for Agona West, has not be invited by the police anywhere,” fumed in a video making rounds on Facebook.
