Salifu Adam Braimah, Regional Minister of Savannah
The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) accuses Savannah region minister Salifu Adam Braimah of complicity in the alleged theft of a van belonging to his office.
A party statement in the region said contradictory media reports about how the vehicle had been stolen testified to the fact that the robbery was a "bad and bull story" and that Adam Braimah was an accomplice.
According to the NDC, state newspaper publisher Daily Graphic had stated that the robbery had taken place at the home of a friend of the minister, where the vehicle was parked in the absence of the minister.
Contradictory reports say the vehicle was stolen from the minister's driver, "only identified as being Eliasu".
According to the NDC, these facts, badociated with the "bad records" of the minister, are proof that the state-man is complicit in the alleged theft of the vehicle.
They call him to produce the vehicle in a campaign that they call "No Pickup, No Mercy."

NDC DECLARES OPERATION "WITHOUT PICKUP, NO MERCURY" AGAINST MINISTER S / R AS POLICE AFFIRMS SUSPICION OF "COCK AND BULL" STORIES AROUND MINISTER'S "SOLD OUT" PICKUP.
Good morning ladies and gentlemen journalists, distinguished speakers from the Savannah region, all protocols duly observed.
We welcome you to this first NDC press conference in Savannah. The Regional Executive Committee would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of the team members and Party supporters, to thank you for the effective roles you have played as the Kingdom's fourth kingdom at the risk of your life and threatened and intimidated by government in all your efforts to keep citizens informed. Indeed, Ghana's democratic experimentation would have been impossible without your crucial role as guardians, markers and guardians of our democracy. The growth of the Savannah region will be ABSOLUTELY impossible without men as gallant as you. We salute you and say Soldier On without fear or favor, without will or affection. We thank you once again for your support for revealing the truth about the so-called stolen PickUp, even though some of your colleagues have decided to play the game by deliberately discussing it as a political joke and not a patriotic call.
Ladies and Gentlemen, let us recall that the Party gave its regional minister an ultimatum of 5 days to return the so-called "kidnapping" stolen after we exposed the crime to the general public when we suspected a criminal act by our security services. information. ground.
Today marks the seventh day of our five-day ultimatum to the Regional Minister and CRCC Savannah for the return of the "Stolen Toyota Hilux Pickup". Unfortunately, she still has not surfaced, despite police clues, who call their stories "Cock and Bull".
We have therefore invited you here to shed light on this issue after our press release. We believe that this will further "force" the reluctant Regional Minister and Regional Co-ordinating Council to provide "Crochet or Crook" with the supply of the "stolen Toyota Hilux pickup" at any cost. And I repeat at all costs!
Let me say quickly that we have also heard calls from clergy urging political parties to redirect their energies to government research and resolution programs aimed at creating jobs for food and fertilizer distribution program, the 1V1D and to oversee district bademblies. We thank them for their interest in and acknowledgment of the failures in the above-mentioned sectors, hence the need to maintain sustained pressure in these areas. However, I am sure that they are also not happy to start this fledgling region with a crime type as big as stealing a Toyota Hilux pickup truck worth thousands of Ghanaian cedis, which the Holy Bible, the Koran and even our traditions flatly condemn. We want to badure them that we will address the suggested areas after the treatment of this crime has come to light.
Political party born of integrity and responsibility, major player of the Savannah region, we sought to clear things up and give a sequence of events to all to understand why this n & # 39; 39 is not just an NPD-NPP. Banter, but rather fight to maintain the integrity and credibility of the Savannah region, by not allowing any individual, group of people or Charlatans party to harm our hard-earned reputation as a people. Indeed, the creation of the Savannah region has been actively sought by all parties, chiefs and other stakeholders, including the media. The courageous efforts of all of us will be meaningless if we have such incredible behaviors that occupy a central place in our regional policy and that politicians do not consider them indifferent as leaders of the region.
CONTROVERSIES:
The first was a statement from www. Graphic.com. According to the information cited, one of the DSPs Mohammed Yusif Tanko, public relations officer of the police in the northern region, reportedly said that the plaintiff had told the police that the vehicle was parked in the residence of the police. one of the Alhaji Illiasu Tanko. from Tamale.
Alhaji Illiasu would be a friend of the Regional Minister of Savannah, the Hon. Salifu Adam Braimah and so the minister went to park the vehicle in his house while he [Minister] traveled out of town for a meeting.
The Yussif Tanko DSP always quoted the complainant's statement as saying that he
[Alhaji Illiasu] was at home around 9 pm on Tuesday, July 9, 2019, whenarmed robbers attacked him under the threat of a gun and asked for the vehicle keys. He again taught us that He Alhaji Eliasu Tanko had handed the keys to the thieves. They caught him in the vehicle and left about twenty kilometers from his home, dropped him and fled with the vehicle.
Another story of the same incident from Www. Ghanaweb .com states:
The Toyota Hilux pickup truck with registration number WR 3516-19 according to police sources who confirmed it to MyNewsGh. com had chosen the minister in Damongo and had been dropped off at Tamale airport to attend an official meeting in Accra.
Upon his return to the suburbs of Tamale, the driver identified as Eliasu was attacked by armed men from about five people who seized the vehicle and then tied him to a tree in the bush and was have run away with the vehicle.
Some people who later found him attached to the tree while he was going to the farm saved him after which an official complaint was filed with the police command of the northern region, which confirmed.
The above inconsistencies led us to issue a press release asking the following questions.
FACADE CONTROVERSE FACTS AND QUESTIONS ABOVE:
We know that the official vehicle of the regional minister is a Nissan Patrol V8 which was given to him. Why has the minister not used his official vehicle since he claims the mission was official?
Minister, It is well known that the minister is entitled to a police convoy, to a police force BodyGuard et al. Why did the minister not use that kind of thing that day, if there is anything left to do?
It is well known that the aligned offices of ministers in other regions constitute their respective CCCs. Minister, Why was the vehicle not parked at the NR-RCC in accordance with the law, but at a friend's home? In any event, why was the pick-up truck not parked at the ministers' residence in Kpalsi, Tamale, since he claims to have left the vehicle in Tamale.
Mr. Minister, why was the news of "so-called" robbery "not aired until people who needed picking up for other missions started raising Red Flags at the same time? no picking about a month later?
5.Among all other vehicles bearing the "Savannah Regional -RCC" listing, why does the allegedly stolen Toyota Hilux pickup not carry the same title but does it remain like any pickup normal?
What is the relationship between Alhaji Eliasu and Hon. Salifu Braimah, because it is alleged that Alhaji Eliasu was an important financier for Hon. The campaign of Braimah and thus to give him badets of the State leads to a conflict of interest with the family and the friends?
SEQUENCE OF EVENTS AFTER AN NDC STATEMENT IN A PRESS RELEASE:
We first published a press release after receiving reports that a Toyota Hilux CCR pickup had been missing for a month, with the regional minister refusing to announce it.
Damongo's WFD is defending the Minister with a fictitious, busting and unbelievable story that is troubling his small credibility that he had left, but for some reason I will not talk much about him today, because we do not want to divert our attention that I want to ensure that "we will soon start to remove these plants from other crops in the near future, their growth will make it very difficult to fumigate farmland", as the saying goes A peanut spoils everything in the mouth
We have written to some stakeholders in the area to ask them to intervene and badist investigations, as we suspected criminal acts throughout the incident.
The NPP is eager to issue a statement with the aim of making it a political affair that clears, but unfortunately failed because of a lack of substance, content, lack of Purpose and unguided lie in their statement. (They are always looking for excuses for lies and false accusations or going to court).
The police issued a statement that investigations had been opened and that the individuals mentioned in our press release had been collected for investigation.
The police subsequently confirmed that the statements of the two arrested were different to the extent that one of them had so far given so many different testimonies to the incident, which which has raised more doubts and suspicions.
The RCC has issued a "pretentious" statement asking everyone to pledge to help recover the vehicle. They had no choice but to accept the fact that there was an internal crime throughout the incident.
The NDC and All Patriotic Indigenes have always insisted that the pickup truck was "stolen in no flight", as we claim. We are therefore asking the regional minister to return the pick-up truck from where he was taken.
The minister confirmed on a number of platforms accept guilt and take responsibility for the entire incident.
The minister promised to provide "soon" the missing pickup on Citi Fm and also on Sagani TV. A program dubbed "Asansan" since he admitted that the pickup was not lacking because they wanted us to believe and pleaded more in favor of forgiveness.
After preliminary inquiries, the police department confirmed our suspicions that said Toyota Hilux Pickup purported to have been stolen was nothing more than a mockup and that there was so no robbery incident, as stated by the Minister Friend.
Ladies and gentlemen, you can all attest to the fact that the information disseminated by the NDC was neither political nor intended to bring cheap political points, but rather a patriotic duty of our civic duty aimed solely at protecting the region. of Savannah Infant any misconduct, any theft, any super incompetence, any abuse of power and any shame that can be imposed on the chiefs, elders and natives of this great region, even threatening investors wishing to do so. invest in our great region, but for fear of Leaders, may decide to move all investments. We can not, as "Savannais", move with an unsolicited label of Stealers of Toyota Hilux Pickups. All scoundrels among us should not simply be identified, but should be named and shamed to preserve the integrity of the greatest innocent members of the fledgling region.
One month in May, we ask how we arrived at our first suspicions: not to believe the story of the missing collection of the minister, which turned out to be true and, as such, it is important to share our first reason not to trust this story.
Media Friends, First, we have a local saying that a person you can identify in the dark does not need clues to be identified in the open. Similarly, if you have ever been bitten by a snake, you have reason to suspect a long cord in your path.
That being said, the said minister himself has the reputation of not telling the truth and peddling Falsehood when he is struck by his own loss.
The deputy. Adams Salifu Braimah, our regional minister, is also a member of the Salaga Sud constituency. Somewhere late last year and early this year, a recalcitrant party-owned group burned down the NPP's constituency office in Salaga, ostensibly to protest against the government's installation of the regional capital of Salaga. Savannah in Damongo, contrary to what had been given. their MP and other large government centrals. Instead of appeasing the pain of their raging young people who felt disappointed and betrayed, he instead took the attention of his party's thugs and falsely accused the NDC.
And then, his own party leaders who had a meeting at the party office and were chased away by their own members came to refute the regional minister's charges against the NDC for the so-called criminal act. It was a complete shame for him; he was not just people, but his own riding directors. This public embarrbadment and embarrbadment was heavy enough to cause his resignation as a deputy from the region, but he did not do it.
We must therefore carefully examine any statement that is supposed to come from him with a nano microscope to detect any trace of falsehood. And here it is also accomplished.
Ladies and Gentlemen, How can we trust a man or a party with such bad results?
We have been quite tolerant and we will no longer ask the regional minister and his team to return the "stolen" Hilux pickup because they have learned so badly from their bosses bad habits but will instead call Out in the attributions of the law so as not to allow them to tarnish the enviable reputation and image of the region and, to a certain extent, the district of Salaga South.
We therefore declare a "No PickUp, No Mercy" operation with the theme #BringBackOurHiluxPickUp from this minute until the return of the Toyota Hilux Pick-Up with registration number ER 3516-19 in the area.
We continue to urge the Ghanaian police to continue their investigations and not to be used in cases such as this one so as not to tarnish their reputation so hard to gain.
We thank our leaders, elders, stakeholders and especially our tireless youth for supporting this agenda to be citizens and not spectators.
Thank you all for coming as we continue this patriotic struggle of Savannah citizens to retrieve our Stolen Hilux "So Four" pickup.
"Operation No PickUp, No Mercy" – #BringBackOurHiluxPickUp is duly declared ….
Thank you.
