The Executive Director of policy tink-tank, Danquah Institute, has raised concerns about what appears to be an aerial reconnaissance of the Accra residence of the main oppositionNew Patriotic Party’s 2012 Presidential Candidate, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko says the party’s maverick and firebrand Legislator, Kennedy Agyapong has also complained of seeing a helicopter beam lights into his residence for adelayed period. Mr. Otchere-Darko says: "It appears that there’s a new form of threat which maybe weshould be looking at”. He explained that: “Earlier this week, Kennedy Agyapong says that there [was] a helicopter that came to his house and threw lights in fora long time”. According to him: “Two nights ago around 9pm, the security people in Nana Addo’s house also mentioned a similar thing,” addingthat:“…They threw the lights in Nana’s house”. He, however, admitted that the chopper did not beam its lights into Nana Akufo-Addo’s house for as long as it allegedly did in the case of Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong. “…I call it the chopper threat", Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko said on Joy FM’s news analysis programme ‘newsfile’ on Saturday, and wondered if it was a mere coincidence. His co-panelists, former Chief of Staff, Nana Ato Dadzie and Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide Newspaper, Kweku Baako Jr, both said it could have been a general aerial reconnaissance not targeted at any specific person. Nana Ato Dadzie said he and other people also experienced the same. “I was at a funeral yesterday, and there was alady somewhere in Accra who thought that there was this chopper going round and was directing at her house”.
