Seidu Abubakar, aka Mba was engaged in an altercation with police officers during the inauguration of President Mahama yesterday, January 7, 2025.
Mba was one of the key persons in the middle of the kidnapped Canadian girls saga which happened in 2019.
The two Canadian women were kidnapped by unidentified gunmen in the country’s second largest city, Kumasi.
The two students, aged 19 and 20, were working as volunteers for a charity.
Seidu Abubakar, aka Mba and three others were arrested in connection with the kidnapping but were later released following the decision of the Attorney-General (A-G) to drop the charges of conspiracy to commit kidnapping and kidnapping against them.
Mba after his release had kept a rather low profile until recently.
It is still unclear what caused the altercation but the matter was de-escalated quickly between him and the police officers.
Read some comments from Ghanaians on the incident;
@wonitwaasidiiii – This one ebi US like dem sh00t am
j_phio – If you enlist incompetent people into the security services this is what happens in broad daylight…
@NexotinGhana – I’m glad to see the police didn’t try to use force but they rather de-esclated
@Adwoakyeraaba – @GhPoliceService you have lost your integrity. You couldn’t arrest that rat
@Wee3ny3 – You take cheap drugs Dey fuk up any how
@ISAACOBENGADDO1 – The disrespect shown to the police is really getting out of hand… Are people above the law…? What makes you think you are above the law if you are otumfuor’s whatever…?
@XbyVibes – This guy needs to be arrested with immediate effect, you fooled under NPP and Kumasi chief for a long time.
@patako499 – He’s got gangster backing from Sammy Gyamfi nd co…he’s even said in some video on tiktok of calling mahama nd mahama doing same before the election.. Na aban aba
@OdintaEko – I’m glad the police was reasonable in de-escalating situation. I can’t begin to imagine how the Nigerian Police would have acted in the same situation.
@Asante_Bekwai – Due to politics, we’ve weakened the police service in Ghana . We insult and label them as politically biased when they do their job, create hashtags, and more. This is the result we get now.
@affum_kerls – For Ghana here we have some people who the law go against them and those who go against the law. I wonder how the police are calmly looking at him
@ISenameh38009 – Seidu must come down, we welcome him to ndc but he must be patient as the members of ndc. Party leadership should coach him how things are done in the ndc
