Some residents of Bole, hometown of former President John Dramani Mahama are calling on the god of the area to strike dead maverick politician and lawmaker for Assin Central Constituency Kennedy Ohene Agyepong.

They indicate that threats by Kennedy Agyepong to commit suicide if Ibrahim Mahama who is their kinsman is not jailed indicates that he has a personal agenda against him for which reason he speaks as though the law is in his bosom.

General Manager of Bole based Nkilgi FM and a close associate of former President John Dramani has disclosed that the gods of Bole will soon strike him for pursuing what he described as a personal agenda trying to use state institutions.

Speaking on Okay FM in Accra, Mr Haruna revealed that Muslims, Christians as well as traditionalists in the Bole area are all praying for their son Ibrahim Mahama disclosing that the gods of Bole are always on standby to assist any indigene that is being wrongly persecuted.

“I will not be surprised to hear the gods of Bole have struck dead Kennedy Agyepong because it is clear he is the person behind the predicament of Ibrahim Mahama”, he stated

“It is envy, jealousy and even witchcraft that will make a person, hate his fellow man with a passion to the extent of threatening to take his life, just to see that person go to jail. You (Kennedy) are not an officer of GRA and so why are you frustrating our man? We are aware that Kennedy Agyapong is behind this issue. He is even more powerful than Nana Addo and that is why he has ordered EOCO to investigate our beloved son”. He alleged.

Bole residents since last week held series of intercessory prayers for Ibrahim Mahama, who is settling scores with Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) for dud cheques he gave to the customs division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA)

Opinion leaders from the area Mohammed Hudu and Iddi Mankuma who are leading the religious exercise on Bole-based Nkiligi Fm disclosed that they cannot leave their kinsman in his trying moments.

According to them, residents of Bole are keenly following events surrounding the invitation of Mr Ibrahim Mahama who hails from Bole in the Northern Region indicating that history is on his side and so he will surely be vindicated and rise to more greatness.

The angry opinion leaders recounted how Mr E.A. Mahama, the father of Ibrahim Mahama was persecuted by his adversaries but was vindicated rising to become a Minister under Dr Kwame Nkrumah’s government and wealthy man.

To this end, they called on both Muslims and Christians in Bole to intercede for him urging the traditionalists to also call on the gods of Bole to expose those behind what they describe as the “political persecution” of their son Ibrahim Mahama.

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Engineers and Planners last week was ordered by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) to pay GH¢12.7m to the Ghana Revenue Authority by May 8, 2017.

The amount represents duty for goods he cleared at the Tema Port with the said dud cheques in 2015 plus interest. The interest on the amount was worked by the Ghana Revenue Authority.

Ibrahim Mahama is allegedly being investigated by EOCO over specific cheques he issued to the customs division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) at the ports to clear heavy duty equipment imported into the country.
