Dominic Nitiwul, the former Minister of Defence has cried out in parliament that the John Mahama administration has been tracking and intimidating him.
According to Dominic Nitiwul government is using soldiers to intimidate Ghanaians, including himself which is not a democracy.
The MP on the floor of Parliament revealed some armed military personnel had been trailing his movements in recent times.
His comments come after the well-known businessman and an NDC member Richard Jakpa led the military raid on the former finance minister Ken Ofori Atta’s residence.
Speaking on the floor of Parliament on Wednesday, February 12, Nitiwul disclosed“They are using soldiers to intimidate Ghanaians, including myself, and that is not democracy, you have no right to send soldiers, to raid a man’s house when he is not there when he has told you I will come and that he is out of the country. It is worse than armed robbery to the fact that I have seen pictures of Richard Jakpa who has just been forgiven of his sins raiding somebody’s house”.
“What business does Jakpa have in the house of a man who is supposed to be travelling outside, this is not the democracy we are building”, he added.
The former defence minister added, “It is wrong for John Mahama who just won an election to try to use soldiers to intimidate people, we will not agree today, we will not agree tomorrow, we are not cowards, we will account to anybody who wants us to account”.
Meanwhile, the OSP denied the allegation of raiding the residence of Ken Ofori Atta.
Addressing the press on Wednesday, February 12, Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng stated, “Mr. Ofori-Atta, the OSP did not raid your house on Tuesday, February 11, 2025, or on any other day. Mr. Ofori-Atta, the OSP did not cause any person”.
The John Mahama administration has also remained tight-quiet on both incidents.

Richard Jakpa, who has just been pardoned by his corrupt boss for stealing our millions, raided the former Finance Minister Ken Ofori House. The OSP should stop daring us with these moves.
