Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko fingered in the gruesome Murder of Major Mahama over Galamsey

President Akufo-Addo’s notorious cousin, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, has been tongue-tied since an audio recording emerged alleging he had a hand in the murder of late Major Adams Mahama.

His silent treatment appears to mirror the strategy adopted by the Jubilee House to curiously remain silent in the face of serious allegations, including the reported sex scandal of President Akufo-Addo with Canada-based lesbian, “Serwaa Broni” and recently a report of the President having defiled a 14-year-old some years ago.

The allegation against Mr. Otchere-Darko is contained in an audio recording capturing the voice of disgraced former NPP Vice-Chairman for Central Region, Horace Ekow Ewusi, revealing that Gabby was an illegal miner enabler who had pestered Ewusi to allow some illegal miners to mine some concessions.

When he refused, he was framed up by the government and demonized as a galamsey kingpin.

The audio is a conversation between Mr. Ekow Ewusi and a journalist, one Duncan who had written a piece on galamsey and apparently character-sketched Ewusi as the devil.

But as Ewusi reveals, he is not the devil and that the story of institutionalised illegal mining under the Akufo-Addo government is traced to the President’s cousin, Gabby, whose actions in the background led to the gruesome murder in 2017, of Major Adams Mahama.

“I read an article you wrote and I was liking it until you brought my name in, and I so wish you would have contacted me so that I would have given you proper facts…We are living in a disgraceful country…they are the cause of all this galamsey nonsense. It goes to the heart of Gabby Otchere-Darko,” Ekow Ewusi is heard saying.

He adds, “This is the same people that got Major Mahama killed.”

It would be recalled that Major Mahama who was leading a military detachment that had been deployed at Denkyeme Obuasi in May 2017 to fight galamsey, was gruesomely murdered by a mob whose justice included stoning him and then setting his body ablaze.

That gruesome murder had rattled the nation and caused anger with the Akufo-Addo government promising justice. Five years down the line, the suspects are still going through the motions of a trial.

Ekow Ewusi reveals Gabby Otchere Darko was somehow behind the actions that culminated in the murder of Major Mahama.

“I was called by a… I don’t want to mention names, somebody close to the office of the Vice-President that I should allow this guy to go and work, I refused. Then I got a call from Gabby’s office, a lawyer claiming he represents them on several occasions I refused. I eventually got a call from Gabby himself. I told them I can’t do it, I can’t allow them to go and work, what happens; Prof. (Frimpong Boateng) instead of protecting me, gave in. But what I can tell you is that Prof is not the one who authorized them to go there, but he is aware of their presence there,” Ekow Ewusi is heard saying.

He set himself and Charles Bissiw as examples of people who were framed and demonized by the government because they would not allow the galamsey gang under Akufo-Addo free way to operate.

Apparently, he names Abdul Malik Kwaku Baako as one of the serious journalists who will be used against Duncan if Duncan goes ahead with the galamsey story.

It would be recalled that Charles Bissiw who was a Presidential Staffer and a member of an anti-galamsey committee set up by the government was secretly recorded by Kwaku Baako’s boy, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, taking bribe from Anas in exchange for allowing him operate an illegal mine.

As Ekow Ewusi reveals, that recording of Bissiw was a frame-up by the galamsey kingpin under Akufo-Addo.

“It took me and Charles Bissiw… and that Frimpong Boateng had the courage to authorize us stopping that operation and we stopped it. What happened 3, 4 days later; or a week or two later? Charles Bissiw was framed that he had gone to collect bribe of Ghc10, 000.”

He adds, “Do you remember Kwaku Baako took me to court? Every morning my picture was on the front page of Crusading Guide?”
