Dr Kwesi Aning a security expert is surprised that a private security organization known as De-Eye is operating at the Osu Castle which is a security zone.
A Joy News investigative piece conducted by Manasseh Azure titled “Militia in the heart of the Nation” revealed the private organisation training men and women to provide security for various functions.
Even though the ruling New Patriotic Party, reacting to this documentary says Osu Castle which happens to be the former seat of government is no longer a security zone; meaning anybody can hire the place; Kwesi Aning insists it is a security zone because when it was his turn to appear before the Justice Emile Short Commission (Osu Castle) the security on duty asked him to park outside because no car was allowed inside a security zone.
Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah issued a statement indicating that the group was evicted in October 2018; a statement Manasseh Azure has debunked.
Oppong Nkrumah also indicated that the founder of the organization, Nana Wireko Addo who was a former bodyguard of President Akufo-Addo was at the Osu Castle because he was assigned to retrieve landed properties in the hands of former government appointees.
According to him, Nana Wireko Addo was “assigned an office there (Osu Castle) to work with a task force to retrieve landed properties and vehicles in the possession of officials of the erstwhile Mahama Administration” however, he later converted his office into “a private business office for the stated purposes of his company (De-Eye group).
The Minister of Information further admitted that "this (using Osu Castle for his private business) should not have been allowed to happen in the first place.
Reacting to this during an interview on Joy Newsfile programme, Dr Aning said he was not surprised about content in the documentary, however, “what surprises me is their location and the failure of our security services to know that such an organization” is operating at the Osu Castle.
According to him, “if national security and the police were not able to dislodge this group as far as 2018 then there are more questions to ask…it shows the limited powers of the institution known to protect us”
He, therefore, asked the Members of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Defence and Interior not to keep quiet on this issue adding; “this is the time to act”

SINCE I KNOW MR ANING ALWAYS PANIC N HYPOCRISY N HE IS THE BEST MAN IN GHANA FOR ANALYST THATS IS SCARES TO THE NATION KONKONSA EXPERT IS NOT HELP THE COUNTRY
In Ghana anybody is called an expert.Please have you watch the documentary.Mr Security expert kindly watch the documentary before you rush to make comment.Do not rundown Ghana to realise narrow, partisan interest.
Let Dr Annin get himself into some trouble and see if the security forces are powerless. I did not expect such an expert to make such sweeping statements.
Dr Kwasi Aning, you are the last person I least expected to have followed the bud wag0n, as a security expert one would have expected you to do your own checks before coming out, or you have become a radio panelist ,have you done any checks in the seat of government, or you also believe everything splashed over the media space . Yeah Ooh Ghana, even experts and the so called specialist think like the ordinary man on the street, no wonder we are where we are?
Dr Aning was my lecturer at Legon. I believe he is an alarmist. Whatever he says creates fear and panic. Just analyze what he has said in the past; what he is saying now; and what he will say in future.
Are you insulting this Expert too. Does he look like someone to be insulted. He was lecturing in his somewhere, when he was invited to make an input. Lets rather listen to his advise. We stand in the house of a coward to point to the ruins of a man who was once brave- the elders say. The meek, shall inherit the earth! Asemsebe
Your reaction to the first comment gives you away as one of the NDC 1diots. Where did you find politics mentioned in KANAZOE'S comment? F00*1s like you are those who muddy the waters in the east and run westwards to question who muddied the water. For your information, the word is not tied, it is tired! This is exactly how m0rons like your type rush to attack people without reading to understand exactly what they mean. Don*key!
Ever since i got to know this man he has been alarmist saa the things he has scared us off like by this time Civil has occurred mpo It looks to me he makes more money when he scares us Yabre wo
This is a ***barred word*** senseless talk. That's why we are still where we are. Everything is politics. I believe it were ndc government the likes of u will be shouting on top of your voice. Ghanaian s are tied of NPP with their hypocrisy.
Ei Efo Kwesi, alias CHIEF ALARMIST! This man paa di3.... I don't know where he studied this "alarmist security" thing from. Always making things appear as if judgement day is just tomorrow. What a security analyst!
