Daniel Asiedu, the alleged killer of the former Abuakwa North Member of Parliament, J.B Danquah has released an explosive detail of those who hired him to assassinate the MP.
Some of the names he mentioned include The Deputy General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Obiri Boahen, Alhaji Amadu Sorogho, the former Member of Parliament for Madina and Kennedy Agyapong, the NPP MP for Assin Central and the wife of the slain MP, Ivy Heward-Mills.
He told a bewildered court today that all these individuals either hired him or facilitated his assassination of the Abuakwa North MP.
Daniel Asiedu broke down in tears at the Accra High court today Tuesday, March 10, 2020, saying he has not been able to sleep for some time now because the ghost of J.B Danquah was haunting him to tell the truth about his killing.
He also begged the court presided over by Justice Lydia Osei Marfo to discharge the other accused person Vincent Bosso who is standing trial with him for the murder. He said Bosso did not know anything about the assassination plot.
J.B Danquah Adu was stabbed to death on the night of Tuesday, February 9, 2016, at his Shiashie residence in Accra.
The accused Daniel Asiedu, popularly known as ‘Sexy Don Don’ and one other person, Vincent Bosso, have been charged with murder and abetment of the murder of the late MP.
The suspect, Daniel Asiedu was arrested two days after the incident.
The trial has been ongoing for approximately three years now in a rollercoaster case that saw Daniel Asiedu, at a point, being declared mentally unstable.
Critics believe the murder was a grand conspiracy by the Ghanaian political elite, hence the slow pace of the trial.
The judge hearing the case, George Buadi was transferred, causing a further delay in the case.
Justice Osei Marfo is only taking up the case for the first time, and already the revelation are pouring without restraints.
