John Ntim Fordjour, Former Deputy Minister of Education
Former Deputy Minister of Education, John Ntim Fordjour, has demanded that President John Mahama call Richard Jakpa to order if he didn’t sanction the recent raids on homes of former appointees.
His call comes after reports that Richard Jakpa, the Director of Special Operations at the National Security Secretariat, had led a raid on the home of former Bank of Ghana (BOG) Governor, Dr Ernest Addison, with 20 armed men on March 19, 2025.
Speaking to the raid on former BOG governor’s home on Okay FM’s ‘Ade Akye Yen Bia’ on March 20, 2025, he suggested that Jakpa’s action was authorised by the president.
“Since John Mahama took office, all we see is vigilantism. Ironically, these raids are all traced to Richard Jakpa. When you ask further questions, all that the security heads say is that they didn’t give any such orders and yet no one is investigating these occurrences,” he lamented.
He indicated that because there hasn’t been any probe into earlier raids, such as the raid on former finance minister, Ken Ofori-Atta’s home, he has been emboldened to carry out more of such unwarranted searches.
“Because no investigations were conducted over raid on Ofori-Atta’s resident, Jakpa has become emboldened and has not only gone ahead to repeat same on BOG boss; he is inviting people anyhow. If it is not Mahama behind Jakpa’s raids he must call him to order,” he said.
He alleged that Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah, a media personality, had been similarly summoned to answer some questions, whereas, Kevin Taylor, a social commentator, is still walking free for saying worst things.
“I even heard that Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah was also invited for questioning for comments he made on his show, but Kevin Taylor has said worst things about high profile people, including Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, former president and other politicians. In his case, a court has issued an arrest warrant for defamation for him, but he was walking about freely at President Mahama’s inauguration.
“Are they saying they didn’t see him? Did he not enter the country through the airport? But security agencies did not arrest him. In fact, they protected him throughout his two-week stay in the country,” he stated.
He cautioned that if the John Mahama-led government continues what he termed as a vigilantism, they would be disgraced.
He strongly condemned recent raids, arrests and invitations under the Mahama-led government.
