Cover Up At Burma Camp!

Ghana’s Military High Command is covering up 8 senior officers who have been fingered in the attempted assassination of ex- Manpower and Personnel Boss, Col Kwadwo Damoah.

This comes on the heels of a letter written by former acting Inspector General of Police (IGP), Madam Elizabeth Robertson on 11th March 2009 to the Command after the said officer made a report about the threat on his life on 25th February 2009 at the Police Headquarters.

According to our sources, the then Acting Chief of Defence Staff, Rear Admiral ARS Nunoo signed individual letters to the officers involved releasing them to face the Police investigators but with the change in the Defence Committee the affected officers have not been released to appear before the Police investigators.

We are told by military sources that after first letter by the Acting IGP on 11th March 2009, a reminder was sent to High Command to produce the officers but the letter was treated with contempt.

When this blog got in touch with Rear Admiral ARS Nunoo to throw more light on the somewhat interesting development, he remained tight lip saying ‘I cannot speak to the issue’.

Meanwhile, the Deputy Director of the CID at that time, Mr. Ken Yeboah who has taken a keen interest in the case has been transferred to the Eastern Region leaving the status of the case hanging.

Our checks at Burma Camp indicate that one of the accused officers is now the Security Coordinator at Ghana’s only international airport and hails from the same town with the current National Security Coordinator.

It is been whispered that he is the ‘brother’ of the National Security Coordinator and was the ‘notorious’ soldier who asked former President Kufuor whether he was going to hand over power if his party looses the elections.

Another one we are told is an officer at the office of the Chief of Staff and holds himself as the transport officer at the castle.

Also, he is the one who allegedly leaked the report on the bogus Board of Inquiry (BOI) set up by Brig General R Winful under the eyes of ‘one pound’ but now prompted to Air Vice Marshal to a private newspaper in Accra for the mud-slugging to begin.

Even though a trained journalist, he has never authored any story before and has a daughter out of wed-lock and was happily sleeping with service personnel posted to his office.

Another we told was the link man between the National Democratic Congress (NDC) then opposition and the soldiers where a strong and massive propaganda was waged for the party.

His boss, a known ‘Church Elder’ was a strong contender for the post of the CDS but has now been appointed an Ambassador.

It would be recalled that few days after Colonel Kwadwo Damoah chastised former President J.J Rawlings for polarizing the military and challenged the authority of Brig General R Winful to set up a BOI, the residence of the former was attacked by a group of unidentified armed men.

Col Damoah’s wife and children had to pack out of their residence to a secure destination for security reasons and their own safety.
