The case was adjourned to April 9, 2013 for hearing. The accused was arrested on Monday, April 16, after being invited by the Police CID over statements he allegedly made the previous Friday, April 13, on his Accra-based radio station, Oman FM. He was alleged to have �declared war� and vowed to lynch any fake security operative, following the alleged physical attack on Ursula Owusu, NPP�s Ablekuma South parliamentary aspirant and Abu Jinapor, an aide to the NPP flagbearer, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, at Tarzan, a registration centre at Odododiodoo in Accra. The accused reportedly said he would organize supporters of the NPP to defend themselves because the police had failed to protect them.
