Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide Newspaper, Kweku Baako Jnr, has revealed that the alleged failed coup plotters planned to kidnap President Akufo Addo.
According to him, video and audio recordings in the possession of the security agencies outlined the strategies to be used.
The government last Monday announced that a planned attack on the Jubilee House had been detected and foiled by a combined team of security operatives.
According to the Information Minister, Mr KOjo Opong Nkrumah, the planned attack was intended to destabilise the country
Commenting on the issue on News File on Accra based Joy FM on Saturday, Mr Baako said “I have able to watch video recordings. I have been able to listen to audio and I am convinced beyond doubt …..There were scenarios where they even contemplate the kidnapping of the President, and this is video, it will come out in court.
“They contemplate a situation where the President, the Vice President, Chief of Defence Staff and some other top shots have congregated at a place to explore that thing they were doing you see the guy manufacturing with the doctor present, this is video
“And they talk of exploding this thing with needles coming out and then also some chemicals that will make you go off. They contemplate that, these are things that they were discussing and doing you see the manufacturing in action. You see they had been infiltrated, it was the infiltrators who were videoing and recording for 15 months and I give credit to the security establishment the Defence Intelligence in particular. The meetings were they met and decided to recruit is all recorded. So in my view, this is not one of the fakes,”
He said the aim of the alleged coup plotters was not to take over the government.
