Citizen Attacks Woyome For ‘Stealing’ Ghana’s Money

One Ghanaian citizen who had just about had it with Woyome decided to attempt to physically attack the man. Of course, that line of action would definitely get you in the grips of police.
The man in question reportedly accosted Woyome and his family at the Achimota Mall last weekend, leading to a physical confrontation between him and the infamous Woyome.
Alfred Agbesi Woyome is the NDC financier who won a judgement debt against the government of Ghana, and was hurriedly paid Ghs 51.2m. The Supreme Court later reversed the decision, asking him to pay back the money. The Appeals Court however, in a recent case, upheld a High Court verdict that exonerated him of criminal conduct in the matter.

There was drama at the Achimota Shopping Mall in Accra last Saturday when a man accosted businessman and National Democratic Congress (NDC) financier, Alfred Agbesi Woyome, for duping the state in the sum of GHC51.2 million.
The man, angered by Woyome’s inability to refund the GHC51.2 million dubiously paid to him by the state, confronted the NDC financier and enquired when he was going to pay back the money.
An eyewitness account indicated that Mr Woyome was seated at an eatery with his family having dinner when the man, yet to be identified, rushed on the businessman and asked him to cough out the money.
“While Mr Woyome was enjoying his meal, the man stood at a distance and watched him for some time, after which he approached him to find out whether he was the Woyome who had defrauded the state,” the eyewitness asserted.
The witness said Woyome’s wife immediately denied that her husband was the Woyome who had defrauded the state, but Mr Woyome himself admitted that he was Woyome and tried to find out what the man wanted from him.
“Immediately Mr Woyome confirmed his identity, the gentleman pounced on him shouting, ‘you are the one who spent our money. We will collect our money today,” the source said.
The action of the man frightened Woyome and the family as several shoppers were supporting the man, but later he also grabbed the attacker in the neck and attempted to pull him outside the mall.
This attracted other shoppers to the scene but Woyome, who at that moment was holding tight the shirt of his attacker, handed him over to the police outside the mall.

The man was later released as Woyome declined to press charges.
