The Head of Transport at the Presidency, Odeneho Nana Oppong is appealing to the embittered Brong Ahafo Regional Youth Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe popularly known as a Abronye DC to stop peddling falsehood about him.

A livid Abronye DC on Thursday claimed that most of the vehicles believed to belong to the state, seized by him and his team have been returned to former government officials a move he was not happy about and therefore brought his task to an end.

He however opined that since the vehicles that were allegedly stolen from state and confiscated from past government officials have been returned, it is only right that the V8 retrieved from renowned actor, John Dumelo is returned.

“John Dumelo’s seized car is at the Flagstaff House Annex. It should be returned to him. That of Elvis Afriyie Ankrah and Kofi Adams should also be returned to them. All the cars that I seized have been parked at the Regional Coordinating Council in Sunyani and so the people we seized the cars from can go for their vehicle because the work we are doing is useless.”

But commenting on the development, , Odeneho Nana Oppong said most of the vehicles he seized turned out vehicles be those that did not belong to the state with owners presenting legitimate documents to prove ownership.

“Some of the vehicles he seized were not for the state and the owners proved it. Their owners came with the requisite documents and we released the vehicles to them. I am not aware that some of the vehicles seized were sold.

What I know is that the vehicles that were sold at giveaway prices were done under the NDC. We called the buyer and he confirmed he paid as low as GHS 2,000 for a V8 Toyota Landcruiser”, he revealed on Okay Fm.
