The Member of Parliament for Nhyiaeso constituency, Dr. Stephen Kwaku Amoah has revealed that he is facing threats against his life, with unknown individuals even targeting his 100-year-old mother.
Speaking on Nhyira FM, the vociferous member of parliament expressed fear over recent developments, stating that despite his respect for all political figures, some people perceive him as a threat to their political ambitions because of my works. He, however, remains uncertain whether these individuals are from the National Democratic Congress or his own party, New Patriotic Party.
“These days, some unknown people are planning against me. I have not offended anyone in politics-not even people of the NDC. I respect everyone.” He stated. “A lot of things are happening that I am very afraid. Many of these issues have been reported to the police, some, I can’t even say it on air” he added.
Dr. Amoah further disclosed that unknown persons have been calling his mother at night, warning her to advise him. He expressed concerns over the impact of these threats on his family, especially his elderly mother, who has become very worried about the developing issues.
While the member of parliament did not disclose specific details about the threats, he emphasized that he has not wronged anyone to deserve such intimidation.
According to him, he understands that as a public figure, things like these will definitely come but to the extent of threatening his mother, he won’t sit and watch!.
This development has raised concerns about the security of public officials in Ghana. The Ghana police service is expected to investigate the matter to ensure the safety of Dr. Stika and his family.
