Unknown gunmen allegedly attacked the home of former Hohoe MP, John Peter Amewu, on Wednesday, March 5.

Amewu stated that one of the attackers, who claimed to be a bailiff, said they were acting on “orders from above.” The intruders reportedly argued that Amewu was not legitimately elected as an MP in the 2020 elections.

Amewu was not at home when the incident occurred. Authorities have not yet provided further details.

The gunmen allegedly fired warning shots, leading to a confrontation with some of Amewu’s supporters.

Speaking on Eyewitness News on Citi FM with Selorm Adonoo, Amewu said, “They said they were there to serve me a notice because I was not duly elected in 2020, hence their decision to serve me. And that the C.I was not constitutional.”

Expressing concern over the incident, he questioned Ghana’s democratic practice and confirmed that his supporters in Hohoe had reported the matter to the police.

Despite the attack, Amewu has declined police protection.
