Former Deputy Minister for Communications, Victoria Hamah, has reported a case of assault, leading to the arrest of her boyfriend, Richard Frimpong Dardo by the police, according to the Daily Guide newspaper.
The sacked deputy minister was alleged to have, at about 7:45 am on Wednesday September 10, 2014, stormed the Dansoman Police Station in Accra and reported her boyfriend to the police after they had disagreed on an issue about sexual intercourse.
Victoria was said to have told the police that Frimpong Dardo had beaten her up and stolen an unspecified amount of money.
[contextly_sidebar id=”HaavlvqNTtvTPJ3RLISJQ5bYnESZ37PV”]Daily Guide gathered that a search at the residence of Victoria, where the incident is alleged to have occurred, had revealed that the suspect had ‘scattered’ the room.
Narrating the incident to Daily Guide, a source stated that on the morning of Wednesday September 10, the counter NCO, one Corporal Beterh, was on duty when a car pulled over and beckoned him.
The source said the Corporal, on reaching the said car, identified Victoria Hamah as the occupant of the vehicle, after which she told him that there was a man in her house who was being violent.
According to the source, the complainant consequently asked Corporal Beterh to dispatch a policeman to her house to go and drag the man out of the place.
As a result, the source stated, two men, one Corporal Abeka and a certain Sampson, who is a civilian, went to the house where the man was arrested and taken to the police station.
When the policemen went there and Frimpong Dardo was arrested, he told the police Victoria was his girlfriend; but they were having problems because Victoria suggested a certain manner of lovemaking, with which he refused to cooperate with her, so Victoria started insulting him,” the source claimed.
The source further stated that the suspect was invited to the police station but because of the complainant’s fame, the case was quietly referred to one Lance Corporal Angela Quartey for an amicable settlement.
The source said statements were taken from the former deputy minister and her boyfriend; and they left the station after the CID officer for the Dansoman Police station, had resolved the problem amicably.
Earlier, one Issaka from Spintex Road was reported to have secured bail for Frimpong Dardo.
He was made to pay GH¢38,000 as part payment for the money the suspect was alleged to have stolen from Victoria.
Ms Hamah was relieved of her position after a controversial tape recording which captured her talking about inside information of government.
