Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Dr. Benjamin Kwasi Agordzo, asserts that instead of charging him with treason, the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) should be acknowledging his actions.

He claims that his financial contribution to support Take Action Ghana (TAG) was directed towards medical outreach programs, despite being accused of aiding an alleged plot to overthrow the government.

During his testimony at the ongoing high treason trial involving nine individuals, ACP Agordzo stated that he and others donated funds for TAG's medical outreach initiatives. He questioned the selective nature of his arrest when other personalities involved were not apprehended.

He contested allegations that he drafted a speech for a post-coup scenario, stating that his advice regarding peaceful demonstrations and securing police permits was unrelated to any criminal activity.

With nearly 36 years of experience in the Ghana Police Service, ACP Agordzo served as Director of Operations and Director of Transformation from 2015 to 2018. He engaged with think tanks, research organizations, and media outlets on topics including election security and political vigilantes.

He recounted receiving a WhatsApp message from the now-deceased Dr. Frederick Mac Palm on November 8, 2018, during his United Nations Pre-Deployment Training Course in Uganda. The message referred to his lecture at the Institute of Democratic Governance and discussed Take Action Ghana (TAG), an NGO headed by Mac Palm. The message inquired about ACP Agordzo's interest in joining TAG.

The term "big bang" was brought up in their conversation, which ACP Agordzo explained was misunderstood and taken out of context by the prosecution. He clarified that he used the term to refer to forming various sub-groups within TAG, not as a reference to any coup attempt.

In light of these circumstances, ACP Agordzo criticized the NIB for erroneously interpreting his words and attributing them to an alleged coup attempt, when they were actually related to benign organizational activities.
