The Former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu, has detailed attempts by National Security to arrest him.

In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh on the TikTok page of @asaasepa, the former SIGA boss, speaking in an interview, said he had been targeted by the security agency and had been invited to the office of National Security for questioning.

Detailing what led to the invitation, John Boadu disclosed that during the erstwhile NPP administration, the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC) brought in cars and were giving them out under the condition that persons who wanted them must pay ten per cent of the amount upfront, after which they would pay the rest in instalments.

Hearing this, he financially supported 16 regional secretaries of the party to buy the cars by paying the required ten per cent using his own funds.

He then expressed surprise that when some individuals defaulted on payments, National Security found it necessary to come after him, even though he was not a guarantor for any of them.

"They thought they would find documents showing that I guaranteed for them, so that it would seem as though I took a car and refused to pay. By God's grace, they found none."

He explained that his decision to support the regional secretaries in getting the cars was to ensure that they could earn some income by using the vehicles for commercial purposes.

At the time of writing the report, the video had racked in over 700 likes and 22 comments.

Nii-Ayiku Mensah wrote:

"So you alone got 20 cars, and some haven't paid for years now. Taxpayers' money is benefiting party people."

Tony added;

"Look at the way you guys take Ghana’s money for your selfish interests. How can you take 20 cars when people who really need them won’t receive them because of politics?"
