Former Attorney General, Martin Amidu has denied media claims that he has been attacked and burgled.
According to the reports, Martin Amidu also known as “Citizen vigilante” was burgled at his home on Monday morning.
Speaking on the Citi Breakfast Show however, Mr Martin Amidu warned those peddling such falsehood to “stop,” since according to him, crying wolf could later harm him when there is real attack later.
“This morning around 6:26am, a friend with the United Cadres front called me with an alarm that they had heard that I have been attacked and burgled and I said no, I haven’t even gone out and I don’t think there is been anything in my house so if there is such a rumour its false,” he insisted.
“Then when I opened the house, nothing had been taken from my house, then I went to open the main gate, a neigbour was standing there… saying you’ve been burgled so I’m coming to find out,” he narrated.
He warned that “Whosoever is doing this should stop it because we will do this and the day the real wolf comes and we cry wolf everybody will ignore it but no one has attacked me…”
Martin Amidu has been very vocal in the controversial GH¢51 million judgment debt paid businessman, Alfred Agbesi Woyome.
He revealed that he was burgled twice in 2014 after making similar statements on the matter and reported at the Madina Police Station but “nothing” has come out of the investigations yet.
He was however quick to add that “I have said that I don’t give a damn, anybody who wants to harm me may do so.”
Amidu vs Gbevlo
The former Attorney General (AG) has in the past few days been sparring with the former National Security Coordinator over comments the latter made concerning his dismissal as AG.
He was incensed by Gbevlo Lartey’s comments on Facebook which he felt was deliberately misinforming the public on why he was dismissed.
According to him, they were all attempts to “cow” him but he will press on and defend the constitution of Ghana.
“I will not now be cowed and thugs can be sent to assassinate me should the Government or anybody wish, for all I care!”
Amidu on current AG’s retrieval of GHC51 million
In his recent take on the issue, Mr Amidu questioned the integrity of the current Attorney General, Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong saying she cannot handle any case involving Mr. Woyome.
Mr. Amidu dared Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong to “confirm her integrity” by publishing her entry of judgment and Woyome’s application.”
Mr Amidu is of the view that Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong and the NDC government have worked severally to prevent Austro-Invest from being prosecuted alongside Mr Woyome.
In an earlier statement from Mr Amidu, he said Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong was a partner in Lithur, Brew and Co, lawyers for Austro-Invest at the time the money [GHC51 million] was paid to the “joint beneficiary interest” of Woyome and that company.
