For Immediate Release

Akufo Addo’s posture on Party Militia Chameleonic - CNS

The Coalition for National Sovereignty met this afternoon to discuss matters relating to the
developments following our First Agbewo Demonstration on the Ayawaso West Wuogon
Violence and the general insecurity in the country and the public forum that followed.

The Coalition has taken a shocking notice of the revelations in the investigative report by
Manasseh Azure, a distinguish journalist at Joy FM, in respect of the operations of an NPP
Militia Group called DE EYE who are stationed, trained and are operating in the Christiansburg
Castle, Osu, where two offices have been allocated to them for their activities.

We commend the effort of Manasseh and his media house for holding their ground and keeping
to the content and spirit of the story even in the face of obvious open state-sponsored hostility,
viturperations , attacks and intimidations.

We have been appalled by the utter deceit, dishonesty and cavalier exhibited by the President in
the response to International cum domestic outrage denying knowledge of any militia group
being sponsored by the NPP and/or his government, describing such claims as “palpable
falsehood”. Mr. Azure's exposes the chameleonic nature of the President- a man whose words are
at variance with his actions.

We have also taken a surprise notice of the Presidents denial of ongoing recruitment of NPP
constituency militia for the 2020 elections by the Upper West Regional Security Liaison contrary
to a Joy FM investigative reportage of same.

In due course, we shall be responding appropriately to all these issues.

Meanwhile, we want use this opportunity to call on the security agencies particularly the Ghana
Police to as a matter of urgency arrest the leaders of this group (De-Eye) who have been exposed
by this investigative work.

The Coalition will be embarking on series of activities in the coming days to press home further
our demand for the immediate demobilsation, disarmament and disbandment of all party militia
groups across the country. Ghanaians are calling for peace.

Consequently, we shall have a demonstration in Techiman on Thursday, 28th March, 2019.

We wish to invite all well-meaning Ghanaians to join us on this mission to rescue our country
from electoral violence and work to strengthen the security for life and property.
