NPP Third Vice National Chairman, Alhaji Masawudu Osman
Third Vice National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Alhaji Masawudu Osman, has issued a stern warning that he will shoot anyone who invades his home without a court warrant under the guise of a National Security operation.
His comments follow an incident in which about 20 operatives from the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB), armed with AK-47 rifles, attempted to arrest the Member of Parliament for Assin South, Reverend Ntim Fordjour, at his residence.
The arrest was thwarted when members of the Minority Caucus in Parliament, led by their leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, alongside senior figures from the New Patriotic Party (NPP), rushed to the MP’s home in solidarity and demanded a bench warrant.
Reverend Ntim Fordjour had earlier alleged that two foreign flights, which suspiciously landed in Ghana in March 2025, were involved in cocaine trafficking and money laundering activities. These claims have been strongly denied by the John Mahama-led government, which has urged the MP to cooperate fully with the country’s security agencies as investigations continue.
Speaking on the matter during a panel discussion on Original TV, Alhaji Masawudu Osman stated that he would treat any unauthorized intrusion into his home as a criminal act.
“Everyone in Ghana should take their security seriously. The country is not in a good state right now. You could be at home peacefully, and before you know it, your house is invaded in the name of a National Security operation. At this rate, people’s homes are being ransacked—soon, lives will be lost,” he said.
“But me, Alhaji Masawudu—by the power vested in me as the National Vice Chairman of the NPP—if I am at my house in East Legon and I see people entering my home to attack me without any verbal notice or a court warrant, I will treat them as armed robbers. I will gun them down.”
When the host of the show reminded him that, as a responsible leader of the largest opposition party, he should use appropriate legal channels to address such concerns rather than take the law into his own hands, Alhaji Masawudu responded:
“I can only channel my concerns through the appropriate quarters if I’m alive. What if I die? It could very well be that the people who invade your house are not even from National Security.”
