The maverick politician believes that Ghana's political history will soon be repeated and that Nana Addo "will end up like his father, who was overthrown together with Dr. KA Busia in 1972."

Koku Anyidohu was arrested during a press conference at the International Press Centre in Accra where he was addressing a press encounter. Koku Anyidohu's statement follows that of a self-acclaimed prophet, Cosmos Walker, who warned of an imminent overthrow of the president of the republic, Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo.

The prophet, based in the Central Region, has revealed that the only prophet who could prevent the prophecy from happening would be the spiritual protection and prayer of Reverend Isaac Owusu Bempah.

YEN.com.gh has read portions of this memo which also reveals that the agreement was finalized by the cabinet on Thursday, March 8, 2018. Also, we are learning that this engagement between Ghana and the US started way back in the last eight months.
