Eric Dumenu Akatsi, the private citizen who petitioned the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) over the controversial dollar-splashing incident involving National Democratic Congress (NDC) Communications Officer, Sammy Gyamfi, claims he has since received threats to his life.<\/p>\n
Mr Akatsi disclosed that, following the filing of his petition on 11 May 2025, he has been inundated with calls from unknown numbers, with some containing direct threats and verbal abuse.
\n\u201cSome of these people are invoking insults and threats as though I committed a crime,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
His petition to CHRAJ seeks an investigation into suspected financial misconduct, after a viral video captured Mr Gyamfi handing out dollars to popular spiritual figure, Nana Agradaa. In the footage, Mr Gyamfi, who also serves as CEO of Goldbod, is seen seated in a luxury Range Rover while distributing the cash.<\/p>\n
Mr Akatsi argued that the overt display of wealth, combined with what he claims are significant sums in Mr Gyamfi\u2019s Consolidated Bank Ghana accounts, raises red flags about potential corruption.<\/p>\n
Responding to public backlash, Mr Akatsi insisted his actions are not politically motivated but stem from a civic duty to demand accountability.
\n\u201cLet me put on record that I have nothing against Sammy. I am only exercising my right as a citizen by calling on institutions of state to investigate an issue of public interest,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
He cited Article 41 of the 1992 Constitution, which enjoins citizens to report suspected misconduct and promote the public good.<\/p>\n
Despite the threats, Mr Akatsi said he remains confident in CHRAJ\u2019s ability to handle the matter impartially and with urgency. His petition calls for a full-scale probe into the source of the alleged large sums in Mr Gyamfi\u2019s bank accounts.<\/p>\n
As of the time of reporting, neither Mr Sammy Gyamfi nor Goldbod has issued an official response to the petition or the concerns it has raised.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
