The Metropolitan Chief Executive of Amasaman
who escaped an assassination attempt Thursday morning said the plot was
politically motivated.
Nii Armah Tackie would not say whether the
plot is coming from within his own party or from opponents, except to
add that he has been aware of several plots to kill him.
An assailant armed with a pistol and a friend to the MCE was arrested after he attacked workers at the Amasaman Assembly.
He
was reported to have fired two shots at the secretary of the MCE but
missed and was overpowered and disarmed as he made his way to the office
of the MCE.
The Amasaman Police Commander Kojo Asante told Joy News the suspect is still in custody as investigations continue.
The
suspect told the police during interrogation that the MCE had failed to
get him a job after he lobbied to have him appointed as MCE.
As police continue with investigations, the MCE told Joy News the suspect was sent to kill him.
Nii Amarh Tackie who admitted knowing the suspect would not say who sent the suspect to kill him.
According to him, several attempts were made, some spiritual, to have him killed but he survived them all.
He
said his detractors who want him out of the job he is currently doing
have sent him to CHRAJ over ridiculous corruptions allegations but all
have proven futile.
He said he has taken this assassination attempt very seriously and has taken all the necessary precautions to protect himself.
