Deputy National Organizer of the largest opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Chief Biney Nixon has said officials of the National Security are now seen working based on a set agenda, a conduct opposite to their profession by law.
He said National Security officers in the country now work according to the agenda set up for them by members of the ruling government.
He wondered why Security Officers will ask the arrested 'Man of God' if he is an NDC member or not.
He said this action alone should send signals of the kind of security officers we have in the country currently.
Speaking on UTV's 'Adekye Nsroma' newspaper discussion programme, the NDC officer attributed the circumstances surrounding the arrest of the 'Man of God' as unfair since he never caused any harm for expressing his feelings on the decision taken by the EC to compile a new voters' register.
"Is the National Security in this country telling us we don't have the right to expression any longer? Because I don't understand why a citizen should be arrested for speaking his mind on a national issue which has created lots of controversy . . . " he said.
On his part, Yaw Adomako Baafi, a Communications team member of the ruling NPP insisted that they acted rightly per the laws of the state.
He said if the NDC did not find reasons enough to punish citizens who go contrary to the laws of the land when they were in power, the NPP with a law-abiding and principled leader leading the country will not sit aloof and watch unconcerned.
'NDC Prophet' Arrested
A self-styled preacher, Prophet Kwabena Owusu Agyei who was seen in a viral video threatening and castigating President Akufo-Addo and the Electoral Commission Chairperson, Jean Mensa has been arrested.
The preacher was reportedly arrested by plain cloth security men during a live interview with Accra-based Hot FM Tuesday morning.
The pastor at a Church Service on Facebook live via NDC TV on Sunday served a strong warning to the EC boss to stop the compilation of the new voters' register.
He arrogantly displayed that if the voter’s register is allowed to be changed, the Electoral Commissioner will die, adding that Ghana will not allow a small family to dictate to the nation.

DORMAA CHIEF IS MAD. HE IS CRAZY THAT THE EC IE NOT DANCING TO A CERTAIN TUNE. GOD HAVE MERCY. IN SUCH THINKING MANY GOOD PEOPLE WILL BE JAILED AND FINED FOR A POOR JUDGEMENT AND CRIMINALS SET FREE. THREE DAYS AGO A CERTAIN APOSTLE OWUSU ADJEI SMOKE WEEEE AND GOT OUT OF CONTROL TO MAKE THREATS AND INSULTS AGAINST SOME HARD WORKING STATE PERSONALITIES. NOBODY CAN ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT TRIGGERED TO GET DORMAA CHIEF MADDD,. HE SEEMED NOT TO BE AWARE THAT HE HAS JUST ONE VOTE LIKE ANY GHANAIAN AND HE CANNOT EVEN COMPEL HIS WIFE TO VOTE THE WAY HE WOULD LIKE. HE MIGHT BE INCENSED BY TOGBE AFEDZI INVITATION TO EC. DORMAA CHIEF AND TOGBE AFEDZE MUST BE REALISTIC TO KNOW THATT HE EC IS WORKING SO HARD TO MAKE UP THE DELAY CAUSED BY COVID-19. SO THE EC DOES NOT HAVE THE PLEASURE OF TIME FOR PLEASANTRIES. THE CHALLENGES OF EC IS COMPOUNDED WITH COURT CASES AND SO EVERYBODY AT EC IS OVERWORKING. MANY GHANAIANS TODAY ARE NOT AMUSED BY THE ATTITUDE OF CHIEFS LIKE TOGBE AFEDZI AND HIS LIKE. THE THEATRICAL SHOW OF AUTHORITY BY DOMAA CHIEF IS VERY SHAMEFUL, THOUGH NOT NEW TO ANYONE IN GHANA. HE IN NOTED FOR HIS ERRATIC STATEMENTS AND HIS INCONSISTENT EMOTIONAL APTITUDE. DORMAA CHIEF MUST KNOW THAT HE IS CHIEF OVER AN AREA DIFFERENT FROM TOGBE AFEDZI WHO IF CHIEF OVER PEOPLE OF ONE POLITICAL PARTY. DORMAA CHIEF HAS CUSTODY OVER AN AREA WHICH CONSIST OF DIFFERENT POLITICAL PARTIES AND THAT ANY MISUSE OF HIS TRADITIONAL ROLE CAN EASILY INCUR THE ROUGH OF MANY OF HIS OWN PEOPLE. AS MAGISTRATE BY PROFESSION HE IS EXPECTED TO KNOW BETTER THAT THE WORK AND FUNCTIONS OF EC ARE DEFINED BY LAW AND THAT EC CANNOT OVERTURN ANYTHING DECIDED BY THE CONSTITUTION, THE PARLIAMENT NOR THE SUPREME COURT. I WISH OUR ELDERS LIKE HIM WOULD LEAD BY EXAMPLE TO RESPECT AND SUPPORT THE RULE OF LAW. THE PREVIOUS OFFICIALS OF EC LOST MANY CASES AT THE SUPREME COURT BECAUSE THEY ACT WRONGLY. THAT IS INCOMPETENCE. GHANAIANS DO NOT EXPECT THE CURRENT EC TO BE INCOMPETENT.
Chief Biney you are a f0000000l. Big one. Ops. Sorry I was just expressing my feelings.
Chief Biney if EC chairperson is your wife, your mother or your sister you will never sit somewhere and talk anyhow. Ghanaians know that NDC are capable of doing or saying things like. Motnie 3 did the same thing to Chief Justice and some Judges when court of law jail them, John Mahama set them free from jail. And Ofosu Ampofo audio is still fresh in the minds of Ghanaians. When some Ndc guys start insulting and attacking your wife in that manner then you will learn sense.
EXPRESSING YOUR FEELINGS DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD INSULT AND THREATEN SOMEONE.
