Solomon Owusu and Andrew Appiah-Danquah, two Ghanaian citizens, have petitioned the Ghana Police Service's Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to investigate MP Dominic Nitiwul over comments he allegedly made regarding the redevelopment of the Agbogbloshie Konkomba Yam Market. Their complaint, dated September 16, 2026, alleges that Mr. Nitiwul's remarks could incite ethnic tensions, cause fear and alarm, and disturb public peace.
They argue that his statements suggest the redevelopment is a deliberate action targeting the Konkomba ethnic group, citing his questioning of why the Konkomba area was chosen for the market while others were left untouched. They also noted his call for President Mahama to stop the Accra Mayor from "targeting the Konkomba tribe," as well as his warning that it would be "politically suicidal" for Mahama to allow the Mayor to proceed with the action.
The petitioners request the police to examine Nitiwul's statements to determine if they constitute offences under sections 207 and 208 of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29). They seek an investigation by the CID to assess the accuracy of Nitiwul's claims and investigate whether his remarks could lead to a breach of the peace.
