The Progressive People’s Party (PPP) book intended to collect signatures in a counter-petition to the president not to release the jailed Montie FM contemnors, also known as Montie 3, has been stolen.
Information available to ClassFMonline.com indicates that the incident happened today at about 1pm at the party’s headquarters in Accra when two men arrived at the premises ostensibly to sign the petition. However, moments after the two left the compound, the book could not be traced.
More than 1000 signatures, including that of party flag bearer Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom, had been pooled by the party in response to one opened by the Research and Advocacy Platform (RAP) at the premises of Accra-based Radio Gold to collect up to a million names to pressure President John Mahama to invoke the prerogative of mercy granted him under Article 72 to release the three – Salifu Maase, aka Mugabe, Godwin Ako Gunn, and Alistair Nelson – jailed on Wednesday July 27 for threatening justices of the Supreme Court with death if the judges failed to give favourable judgement in a case before them.
The court sentenced each of them to four months in jail for scandalising the court and lowering its authority in the eyes of the public.
