New Patriotic Party Youth activist, John Kumah, who was arrested for alleging that President Mills is gay on an Accra based private radio station, says he is unfazed by the arrest and describes it as an honour and inspiration to fight for the NPP.<\/p>\n
According to him, the arrest by the Police CID would not intimidate and prevent him from fighting to ensure that members of the governing NDC desist from their characteristic style of attacking NPP Flagbearer Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and leading members of the party.<\/p>\n
John Kumah is reported to have made the allegation last week on the Accra based station during a political discussion. He was arrested when entering the studio of another Accra based radio station, Hot FM for another political discussion program.<\/p>\n
However, John Kumah moments after his release told Citi News President Mills ordered his release from Police custody because he (President Mills) was not interested in the case.<\/p>\n
John Kumah, one of the leaders of the Young Patriots, a group made up of young activists in the NPP who have warned the NDC against insulting Nana Akufo-Addo, said it was unfortunate that Ghana was returning to its \u201cdark days\u201d when one had no right to freedom of speech.<\/p>\n
John Kumah said his remark that President Mills had been sharing one bed with Mr Ato Ahwoi, a member of government, and that both men were gay partners was in response to similar remarks made by an NDC activist on the program who accused NPP MP for Okaikoi South, Hon. Nana Akomea and Nana Akufo-Addo of practicing homosexuality.<\/p>\n
He cautioned members of the NDC to desist from character assassination and the making of unsubstantiated allegations against members of the NPP since members of the opposition party would respond in the same regard.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
