The troubles of the Volta Regional Minister, Hon. Kofi Dzamesi, who survived an assassination attempt recently, are not yet over as a family chases him with juju. The family and friends of Dzikunu Dan Agbale, the man who died while trying to carry out his assassination attempt on the Minister, have vowed to invoke local spirits (juju) to deal with the Minister or drag him to court.
Some angry youth of Xipe and Agbado told Daily Guide that it was the Minister who rather caused the death of the deceased. They also described as a lie, the statement by the Police that they found on the deceased a talisman and a sharp object suspected to be the spike of a porcupine, adding that Agbale was not a jujuman as the Police sought to portray him.
Defending the deceased, the youth said Agbale, until his death, was an NPP footsoldier who had never been an Indian hemp smoker as being alleged, claiming that the Police shot him in the abdomen.
They however admitted that the Minister sponsored the deceased from his secondary school days until he enrolled in a driving school, but as they put it, it was not clear whether the Minister had fulfilled his promises to the young man.
Sounding unruffled, the Minister said he was not perturbed by the threats at all, adding that the NPP would retain power whether the Volta Region votes for the party or not, because “the world bank of the NDC is smaller than the rest of the NPP”. The deceased’s mother, Madam Afi Treve told Daily Guide that the Minister invited the deceased to his residence and promised buying a commercial vehicle for him, contending that her dead son’s father was a friend to the Minister.
Because of Agbale’s impending trip to Ho for the vehicle, he could not go to the farm with the rest of the family on the fateful day. Continuing, she claimed she had information about her son’s death through a telephone call from the Minister. Meanwhile the Ho Police have beefed up security at the Minister’s residency while the Minister has opted for meeting his constituency members outside the residency as a precautionary measure.
