Mustapha Gbande in an earlier interview warned Ken Ofori Atta that he can go to heaven and come down he would be arrested, prosecuted, and jailed.
He asserted that Ken Ofori-Atta was the holder of the public purse and the public purse was misused by the erstwhile Akufo-Addo government.
Mustapha Gbande stated, “When you are on the wrong side of the state, any part of the state can come after you, I don’t work at National Security but I am just saying that I won’t sit here to speak to the grounds which National Security should invade or not invade if you go to the national security majority of the people who work there are military officials and police officials.
Ken Ofori Atta can go to heaven and come down he would be arrested, he would be prosecuted and he would be jailed, no amount of noise can stop that” he stated.
Mustapha Gbande added, “He was the holder of the public purse and the public purse has been misused are you not aware, are you not aware that the NPP government misused our state funds are you not aware he stole money, are you not aware that any cheque that went to a contractor or a government institution where the funds were misused came from Ken Ofori-Atta.
Are you not aware the SML deal was a scandal, and so I am just saying that the state can arrest you on a Rambo style, they can choose to invite you, they can choose to go on a party with you, the National Security choose to go in this way, those questioning why Soldiers were used President Akufo-Addo regime they were using soldiers as drivers”, he further detailed.
His comments come after the OSP Kissi Agyebeng declared Ken Ofori-Atta a fugitive for failing to appear for interrogation into corruption-related investigations.
