Police Exposes Ken ‘O’ Kuranchie

“No Convoy Rider Hit The Cape-Coast Man”

As The Informer Grabs Details Of (OSV) Case

News Desk Report

Punch by punch Police reports on the infamous case of an injured accident victim who, according Keneth ‘Opete’ Kuranchie, is blaming President J.E.A Mills for his woes, indicate that the man in question was knocked down by one George Kingsley Sam Allottey, a mechanic apprentice, based in Cape Coast.

The Police reports intercepted by The Informer indicates that Mr. Richard Kofi Dodoo was not hit by a Presidential motorcade, as being alleged by the discredited Searchlight newspaper and its Vulture Award winning Managing Editor, Ken Kuranchie (Order of the Star of the Vulture).

Official Police files in the possession of The Informer reveals that Mr. Richard Kofi Dodoo, a 43 year-old resident of Cape Coast, was on 27th of March 2009, knocked down and injured by an unregistered jungle (HONDA) motor-bike, that was being ridden by George Kingsley Sam Allottey, an ecstatic Cape Coaster who had joined a carnival of people who were celebrating the heroic feet of President Professor John Evans Fiifi Atta Mills, a son of the fante-land that had just ascended the office of the President of Ghana.

The Police statement, given by Mr. Kofi Doodo, the victim, and in the possession of The Informer states that “at about 3:30pm whilst I was sitting in front of my landlord’s store situated along the Pedu-Bakaano dual carriage road, a man who was then riding a motorbike from Pedu direction towards Bakaano, suddenly stood on the bike in an acrobatic manner and in the process, the bike veered off lane and knocked me down.”

It was gathered that the accident took place, soon after the Presidential convoy had left the area and the people of Cape Coast were caught in a carnival mood and as a result many young men and women were seen riding motorbikes and cars, tooting their horns in celebration of the President’s visit. Such carnivals, according Cape Coasters, is a natural event, whenever, the city is visited by Presidents or big dignitaries.

Victim Kofi Doodo, who hails from Jasikan-Buem, in the Volta Region of Ghana, in his complaint to the Police, did not mention the Presidential convoy, and in no-where did he involve the name of the Presidency.

The Informer however gathered from investigations that members of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Cape Coast, offered to help, when the issue came to their attention. A petition to the Regional Coordinating Council, the organisers of the President’s ‘Thank you visit’ led to a decision to take-up the bills of Mr. Doodo on humanitarian grounds. This letter signed by the then Ag. Chief Director, is what Mr. Ken ‘Opete’ Kuranchie is circulating as evidence of a Presidential inhumanity.

The Police files, when examined revealed that the RCC’s letter, meant to assist the victim, is the only document that mentions the Presidential convoy as being the cause of the accident. When the case was called in a Cape Coast Magistrate Court, yesterday, Mr. George Kingsley Sam Allotey, the mechanic apprentice, pleaded guilty to all the four counts that had been preferred against him. The case was subsequently adjourned to next week, since the original Police medical form, issued to Mr. Doodo, was still in his possession.

In a related development, The Informer has been told by the accident victim, Mr. Doodo, that he has written an official letter of apology to the President, explaining how Mr. Ken Kuranchie (OSV) had twisted the facts as presented to the newspaper, in order to achieve political capital.

Mr. Doodo regretted contacting Mr. Ken ‘Opete’ Kuranchie, with the story. The Commander of the Motor Traffic and Transport Unit (MTTU) DCoP Daniel Julius Avorga, is said to have gone to Cape Coast to verify the veracity of the story that had accused his motor-riders as having conducted themselves recklessly and thereby knocking down a gentleman in the process.

When contacted, the MTTU boss denied The Searchlight’s stories on the case and described the assertions captured in such reports in words synonymous to blackmailing the President of the Republic of Ghana.
