Senior Police Officer, ACP Dr. Benjamin Agordzo charged with treason for his involvement in an alleged coup plot to destabilize the state says the charges leveled against him are “frivolous”.

He believes he is being victimized for speaking his mind as a citizen on national issues.

“The charges are frivolous. I am as strong as anything. Nobody should bog me; I have not committed any crime. I have done nothing wrong” he stated in an interview with the media after a court appearance on Wednesday.

“The President called upon us to be citizens so when I express my opinion on WhatsApp platforms unrelated to any alleged coup nobody should bog me down. I will stand for this till the end. You cannot break me down because I am strong for anything,” he said.

Dr. Benjamin Agordzor was arraigned before the Kaneshie District Court on Wednesday after been held hostage at the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) since Monday and denied bail.

Some nine persons including Dr. Frederick Yao Mac-Palm, who’s believed to be the lead mastermind, have been charged for treason felony and are standing trial over attempts to destabilize Ghana.
