Mustapha Gbande and Nana Attobrah Quaicoe
Mustapha Gbande, the Deputy Director of Operations at the Presidency, has alleged that he was harassed during the tenure of former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s administration.
According to Gbande, the former president used the National Investigation Bureau (NIB) to harass him several times.
Speaking in an interview on GHOne TV on April 11, 2025, which was shared on social media, Gbande recounted warning the former NIB boss, Nana Attobrah Quaicoe, to ensure their paths did not cross on bad terms due to the alleged harassment.
“A month before the elections, they tried all possible means, including spiritual efforts, but they didn’t succeed. They tried to use the NIB and GRA to frustrate me, but it didn’t work,” he said.
Mustapha, who doubles as the Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), added, “I told the NIB boss, I don’t know where he is now, that he should tell President Akufo-Addo that nothing will stop us from grounding his government.
“I also told Attobrah that he should pray we don’t meet again on a bad note because the NPP killed me while I was alive. As a poor young man under their regime, they had my houses demolished.”
Gbande further accused the previous NPP government of demolishing his buildings, adding to his frustrations during their tenure.
