How the MCE for Yendi masterminded my Kidnapping after I raised Corruption Charges against a Minister
– American Businessman narrates
Chief Executive Officer of Alafei Food, Claude Convinver Davit, has accused the Municipal Chief Executive for Yendi, Alhaji Hammed Abubakar Yussif, of masterminding his kidnapping after he leveled corruption allegations against a Minister of State.
The American doing business in Ghana noted that he was kidnapped in March of this year when he was invited to the office of Alhaji Hammed Abubakar Yussif.
Upon arrival, Claude Convinver Davit stated that Alhaji Hammed Abubakar Yussif directed officers of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) and the Bureau of National Investigation (BNI) to whish him away and question him on the corruption allegations levelled against a minister.
Recounting the shocking incident in an interview on Talk Time with Kwesi Pratt; Mr Davit said, “He called me into his office to show up and he had about 8 officials of the Immigration Service, the Bureau of National Investigation there and he addressed them, as soon as I sat down, he addressed the Immigration Director in Yendi and said this fellow has been accusing the Minister of Gender of some form of corruption. Take him away and have him interrogated.”
He continued, “At that point, a bigger man than me came behind me, lifted me up by my pants out of the chair I was sitted in. He carried me to the door of his office and I knew I had no choice but to go with the Immigration Service. I had my papers in order so they turned me to the BNI in Yendi and they interviewed me and showed me some videos of an interview I had given on television where I was raising questions about whether President Bawumia was also involved.”
According to the CEO, the BNI then had to release him because “I had not committed any crimes.”
A concerned Claude noted that for seven months, he has been fighting a criminal charge at the Yendi Court for disconnecting a pipe.
Claude Convincer Davit has also accused Member of Parliament for Bantama and former Deputy Chief of Staff, Francis Asenso-Boakye, of bribery allegations.
In a video making the rounds on many social media and mainstream media platforms, Convincer Davit is heard alleging an encounter with the MP in 2017 during which he was impressed upon to part with money in order to be introduced to President Akufo-Addo.
In a statement issued by his media assistant, however, Asenso-Boakye denies the allegation and said he has never met his accuser.
“We wish to state categorically that the allegation is false and evil. Hon Asenso-Boakye does not know the gentleman in question. He has never met him nor had any interaction whatsoever with him.
“It may be recalled that this is not the first time this allegation has been made against the MP by the same person. It became obvious then that there was no iota of truth in the allegation. It gives cause to wonder why the gentleman will repeat the same allegation at this time if not for evil and malicious intentions.
“It bears saying that the repetition of a false allegation does not make it true. It was false then, and it is false today. It is obvious that this is a spurious allegation which has resurfaced as a result of the propaganda machinations of the MP’s political opponents and detractors who wish to court unnecessary public disaffection for him in order to score cheap political points.
“Should the Ghana Police and/or the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) find any weight in the allegation, we strongly suggest then that they invite Mr. Davit to provide further and better particulars.
“By this statement, a notice is hereby served on Mr. Davit to desist from further repeating the allegation anywhere. The MP shall, under legal advisement, take appropriate remedial action should he repeat this false allegation against him.”
