The
political project of the doctor at the centre of caches of weapons in a health
facility and ingredients for the production of Improvised Explosive Devices
(IEDs) at other locations has manifested in his social media posts.
In
one of such posts on Facebook, he is captured asking Ghanaian youth to rise
against the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress
(NDC)—a revolutionary flavour present in most of his
posts.
One
of his posts states: “These two parties are killing Ghana slowly. I pray the
youth of Ghana will rise against these two wolves. May the good Lord give
strength.”
He
was reacting to the presentation of 20 cars to the NDC by former President John
Mahama in the run-up to the opposition party’s presidential primaries when he also
asked: “Are we ready for another bout of loot and share?”
Take Action Ghana (TAG)
His call on Ghanaian youth to
rise against officialdom ties in seamlessly with his pet project—Take Action Ghana (TAG)—which is busily mobilizing the youth and
security agents to change Ghana.
With
a target of GH¢685,200, TAG, through donations, has raised GH¢472,183 from
‘donatees’ as he gleefully captured the feat in his Facebook post.
On
its website, TAG has some 5,569 members including police officers, teachers and
engineers and still counting.
“TAG:
Making Ghana A Better Place. Join Us Today” is the call for the membership of
the youth TAG of which he is founder.
TOGETHER AS ONE FOR CHANGE
The objective of TAG is “to
mobilize Ghanaian citizens—both home and abroad—towards a common goal to make Ghana a better place
for us and the generations to come.”
Continuing,
it says TAG seeks to have individual members “to belong to a particular chapter
such as tro-tro drivers, taxi drivers, civil servants, police, army, nurses,
doctors, teachers, Ghanaians abroad, engineers, scientists, economists,
finance, unemployed young graduates, pastors, clergy, imams, etc …’
TAG Security
It
would be interesting to determine how many soldiers or police officers belong
to TAG considering the fact that security personnel are by the nature of their
professions barred from the membership of such groupings, let alone seen
partaking in their activities.
It
would be recalled that Information Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, in his
statement following the arrest of the Alajo Bomb Doctor, pointed at TAG as part
of the destabilization web being spawned by Dr. Frederick Mac-Palm.
His
arrest over the illegal production of IEDs and stockpiling of weapons at his
Citadel Hospital at Alajo in Accra, coupled with the youth mobilization project
of TAG, is one of the areas being looked into by intelligence personnel.
Close To Target
The objective of TAG, which
was mentioned in the government statement on the arrest of the doctor and the
blacksmith as mobilizing Ghanaian youth with a view to destabilizing the
country, is subtly captured in one of his posts—“Mobilising
Ghanaians. Making Ghana A Better Place Join Now”. He also posted: “We are close
to our target.”
The
doctor’s anti-establishment posts and reposting of stances repugnant to
officialdom speak volumes about his project.
The
posts of the US-trained medical doctor are carefully crafted to conceal his
political inclination hence his aversion to the two political parties—NDC and NPP.
He
appears to have inclination for a revolution with TAG as the backbone.
Deleted Stuff
His
Facebook page is replete with many deleted segments that suggest censoring by Facebook
managers.
The
investigators in the weapons case are reported to be in possession of ample
evidence from social media communications, among others.
He
has posted stuff such as the ‘Drop That Chamber’ from a soldier and the ‘Zuma
Is A Thief’ outburst from a female South African legislator, among others, on
his Facebook page.
On
13th July when Sam George and an NPP person were engaged in polemics,
he reacted thus “that is what all these two parties and their members do. The
sad thing is that we sit and watch their concerts after election period. Really
sickening!”
Should We Continue?
His
reaction to the report about rusty motorized tricycles purchased for the
Savannah Accelerated Development Authority (SADA) on July 13 was “something
must be wrong with us if we really want to continue on this tangent as a
people.”
In Love With Soyinka
He
appeared to have fallen with award-winning Nigerian anti-establishment poet and
critic—Prof. Wole Soyinka—when he posted on is page the man’s remarks: “It
is only in Africa where thieves regroup to loot again and the youth whose
future is being stolen will be celebrating.”
Where Are We Going?
His
November 9, 2018 post reads: “Folks, is this our motherland Ghana? Where are we
heading with all these? I do not think we should blame the current government
alone for these unfortunate occurrences. These situations are seen in both
NDC/NPP regimes alternatively. Our heads of public services make the situations
even worse. I keep saying that we need a serious mindset change so as to
RESTRUCTURE our governance system before situations as such escalate to serious
ones that we may not be able to control. We are slowly but surely getting there
folks. It’s really a sad commentary.”
It Is A Plot
His
remark “It is a plot” when he was leaving a court on Tuesday had people
thinking about what he meant.
Court Case
Dr.
Frederick Yao Mac-Palm alongside Ezor Kafui, a local weapon manufacturer
(blacksmith), and Bright Allan Debrah Ofosu, aka BB or ADC, are being tried for
their roles in the stockpile of arms retrieved from the Citadel Hospital at
Alajo in Accra last Friday.
Their
arrests have sparked heated debate over the motives of the suspects, as some
sections of the public are even mocking the entire episode.
The
government has, however, insisted that the busted stockpile of arms was
intended for an attack on the Presidency, and a subsequent overthrow of the
government.
The
accused persons are facing a total of five charges—all in connection with the
deadly explosives and ammunition they were caught with.
Together
the three, as well as one suspect only identified as Suley, are facing two
counts of conspiracy to manufacture arms and ammunition, and unlawful
possession of explosives and firearms.
Kafui
is facing an additional count of manufacturing arms and ammunition without
lawful authority.
He
is further accused of manufacturing 22 explosives hence another count of
manufacturing firearms and ammunition without lawful authority.
Dr. Frederick Yao Mac-Palm is also facing another count of possession of explosives and firearms—22 explosives, six pistols, three grenades and five pieces of ammunition without lawful authority.
