Sammy Gyamfi
The
Communications Director of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi,
has reported to the Cyber Crime Unit of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID)
over ongoing investigations into an alleged cybercrime offence.
He
reported yesterday around 10 am in the company of four lawyers of the NDC legal
team, Abraham Amaliba, Victor Adawudu, Inusah Fuseine and George Loh.
At
the CID headquarters to give him moral support were some supporters of the
party.
The
NDC communications director has been accused of forgery and publication of
false information, and has been asked to report yesterday for investigations to
continue.
The
Director of the Cyber Crime Unit, ACP Dr. Gustav Herbert Yankson, a week ago, invited
Sammy Gyamfi through a mobile phone call and followed up with a text message
following a formal complaint lodged against him by a complainant from Jubilee House
over a cybercrime case.
He
was supposed to have reported last Friday, December 20, 2019 but asked to be
permitted to appear yesterday as he had an examination paper to write.
Addressing
the media after briefly meeting the police, Lawyer Victor Adawudu said the
police invited Sammy Gyamfi to report at 10:30 am yesterday.
He
said they reported around 10:15 am only to be told that the investigators were
in a meeting.
“After
their meeting, the police came to tell us our meeting was not going to be
possible and that we have to reschedule the meeting to 11 am today,” he added.
