Social Commentator and popular Musician, Kwame Asare Obeng a.k.a A Plus has promised to do his worse if Executive Chairman of the State Enterprises Commission, Stephen Asamoah Boateng (Asabee) fails to cooperate as far as talks to settle a young man whose building he allegedly demolished wrongfully is concerned.
A Plus was hauled to court by Asabee who sued him for malicious defamatory comments against him. He was, as part of investigations invited by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) to which he responded on Wednesday, June 19.
Though he admitted having been ‘calmed’ down by the Commander in charge of the cyber crime unit, Dr. Yankson, he still made it clear that he will only ‘be still’ after Asabee makes the necessary arrangements for ‘peace talks’ which will lead to the resolution of the issue.
“He advised me that though I claim it was Asabee who begun insulting me, I should not insult him again. He used Bible verses and all to speak to me like a small brother. Anyway, I've taken his advice”.
“I will not insult Asabee. But the land di? the young man must get it back and Asabee must pay for the damage caused”.
“We are ready to talk”, he said, emphasizing the fact that he will not be intimidated, not by threats, suits nor past records of victory over persons such as the Former President Jerry John Rawlings”. Until the ‘right thing’ is done and the demolished building is rebuilt and returned to its ‘rightful owner’, he insists, he will not rest.
“Asabee should come and let's talk. I'm not the Rawlings he claims he defeated in the 80s. That time is dead and gone!!! This is 2019. Boys today be wild pass 1980 boys. If he fails to talk and sort this issue out, I will do worse. I will pick Hajia Fati from NPP party headquarters and pick some boys in addition to the site and stand there for the guy to build his house. And trust me. He can't come here. I've won 5 - 0. I'm undisputed. Halfman Halfbosom no dey lose!!! Never!!!”

Yesterday I got to the CID headquarters very angry. I told the police to stop acting as if they can arrest me in this case. I made it very clear to them, "Masa stop pretending that you can arrest me. You can't. I've not committed any crime." I also made it very clear to them that if it were any ordinary person they would have locked the person up by now just because one big man reported a case. I'm not ordinary and nobody can intimidate me in this country.
Then we went to the office of the commander in charge of cyber crime unit. Dr Yankson. Not the honorary Dr that is given to people in churches oooo. This Dr. is a proper PhD holder who also lectures at the police training school. He advised me that though I claim it was Asabee who begun insulting me, I should not insult him again. He used bible verses and all to speak to me like a small brother. Dr Yankson is a new generation Ghana police service Officer. A very nice man.
I told him that I need the support of the police service to end this "bigmanship" and politicians taking the law into their own hands to intimidate everyone and interfere in every institution in Ghana including the police. "Dr, take Ayawaso byelection for example, police commissioners were standing and party foot soldiers and vigilantes were misbehaving. They could not act because the police commissioners were scared of politicians. If you speak or work professionally they will victimize you. Is this the Ghana we want?" Anyway, I've taken his advice. I will not insult Asabee. But the land di? the young man must get it back and Asabee must pay for the damage caused. We are ready to talk. Asabee should come and let's talk. I'm not the Rawlings he claims he deIfeated in the 80s. That time is dead and gone!!! This is 2019. Boys today be wild pass 1980 boys. If he fails to talk and sort this issue out, I will do worse. I will pick Hajia Fati from NPP party headquarters and pick some boys in addition to the site and stand there for the guy to build his house. And trust me. He can't come there. I've won 5 - 0. I'm undisputed. Halfman Halfbosom no dey lose!!! Never!!!
