A group of unidentified gunmen reportedly invaded the residence of former Hohoe Member of Parliament, John Peter Amewu, on Wednesday, March 5.
According to Amewu, one of the assailants, who claimed to be a bailiff, stated that they were acting on “orders from above.”
The group allegedly insisted that Amewu was not legitimately elected as an MP in the 2020 elections.
At the time of the incident, Amewu was not at home.
The situation escalated when the gunmen fired warning shots, prompting a confrontation with some of Amewu’s supporters.
Speaking on Eyewitness News on Citi FM with Selorm Adonoo, Amewu recounted the events, saying, “They said they were there to serve me a notice because I was not duly elected in 2020, hence their decision to serve me. And that the C.I was not constitutional.
”Expressing deep concern over the incident, Amewu questioned the state of Ghana’s democracy and confirmed that his supporters in Hohoe had reported the matter to the police.
