VIDEO: TRAUMATIC RECOLLECTION OF BNI ARREST ON 6TH DECEMBER 2012
The argument of today's case (6th December 2016) in the Supreme Court happens to coincide with the same 6th December four years ago in 2012, to add to my traumatic recollections of the significance of this date. Today's court adjournment was, therefore, a welcome relief to me. Four years ago on this same day, just prior to the 2012 election, my house was searched, my computer and various papers were seized and I was arrested by the BNI and detained at their headquarters on the orders of their Director. This level of intimidation came into my home one day before elections. The reason given: To prevent me from delivering a supposed lecture on corruption. So today as I recall the trauma of that event four years ago, I am grateful not to have to stand in court to talk of corruption. Instead I ask all my fellow citizens to vote wisely and peacefully. Put Ghana first.
