The star prosecution witness in the ongoing coup trial, Staff Sergeant AwarfKwaswoSulley, who The Herald recently reported as a murder suspect recruited into the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) with a fake certificate, has finally been accused of impersonation by the person whose certificate he used to become a soldier.

The real owner of the certificates used by “Sergeant Awarf”, by name Douglas Kwadwo Awarf, has stepped out and broken his silence, about the troubles he has been encountering since that revelation was made that someone had used his certificates to join the army.

Interestingly, The Herald is picking up reports that GAF, is desperately making efforts to send “Sergeant Awarf”, whose real name is Inusah Napor Sulley, outside the country on a UN Peace Mission, where he will slip away into obscurity instead of arresting him.

“Sergeant Awarf” has been doing lots of things including illegal land guard duties for the some senior military officers, hence even though most of them are very much aware of the issues against him, they have refused to arrest him for prosecution. 

“Sergeant Awarf”, who is the source of videos and audios recordings which formed the basis of the case in which ACP Benjamin Agordzo, Dr Frederick Mac-Palm Mac Palm and eight others are standing trial for High Treason impersonated one Douglas Kwadwo Awarf, to gain entry into the military.

The sergeant, who claimed to have been planted among the alleged coup plotters to capture videos of their activities, had admitted during cross-examination in court that the certificate was not his. This has forced Douglas peaking on the matter calling on the Inspector General of Police to have Sergeant Sulley arrested.

 Douglas explained that he had a Second Class diploma in Woodwork from the Bechem Technical Institute in 2004, after having entered the school with his JSS certificate, revealing the devastating effect this impersonation has had on his personal life and those of his family.

 “I have had the privilege of following court proceedings in the High Treason case currently before the High Court, Accra (Financial Division 2) where my impersonator is Prosecution Witness 3 (PW3). As a matter of fact, PW3 admitted during cross examination that he did not join the Ghana Army with his own certificate.

 “Please note that because I have become aware of the developments or issues surrounding my impersonation by this serving soldier of the Ghana Armed Forces, my family house at Bechem, my parents, my former schools etc., in recent weeks have been inundated with visits by security personnel including soldiers, policemen, BNI officers etc., all in an attempt to compromise me or my family or the school authorities,”.

 “That by virtue of this impersonation and its associated misconduct by the said soldier, including his further admission during cross examination that he shot and killed someone in self-defense at Nsakina (on the Accra-Nsawam road), myself and my entire family are being accused of murder.

 “That my life is now under threat because of some utterances by officers doing the bidding of my impersonator, that the conduct of the suspect (my impersonator herein, his agent, assigns or officers/employers) will clearly bring the administration of justice into disrepute and ought to be checked,” he said.

He therefore called on the IGP to help save the situation by getting his impersonator arrested.

 “I am therefore humbly requesting for your timely intervention to arrest my impersonator and have him prosecuted,” he wrote.

 Last Monday, December 6, a day when Awarf Sulley was discharged by a three member panel of the Accra High Court, following defence lawyers ending their cross examination, the man he is alleged to have impersonated broke his silence.

 Douglas Kwadwo Awarf, said to be the man with the original name called on the Inspector General of Police to have Sergeant Sulley arrested.

 “I have had the privilege of following court proceedings in the High Treason case currently before the High Court, Accra

(Financial Division 2) where my impersonator is Prosecution Witness 3 (PW3). As a matter of fact, PW3 admitted during cross examination that he did not join the Ghana Army with his own certificate.

 Douglas Awarf continued that this act of impersonation is also greatly affecting his ability to live peacefully without having to look over his shoulders constantly.

“That by virtue of this impersonation and its associated misconduct by the said soldier, including his further admission during cross examination that he shot and killed someone in self-defense at Nsakina (on the Accra-Nsawam road), myself and my entire family are being accused of murder. 

“That my life is now under threat because of some utterances by officers doing the bidding of my impersonator, that the conduct of the suspect (my impersonator herein, his agent, assigns or officers/employers) will clearly bring the administration of justice into disrepute and ought to be checked,” he said. He therefore called on the IGP to help save the situation by getting his impersonator arrested. 

“I am therefore humbly requesting for your timely intervention to arrest my impersonator and have him prosecuted,” he wrote.

Meanwhile, back in court, a hard drive containing audio-visual recordings of activities of the alleged coup plotters standing trial at a High Court has been admitted as evidence amidst objections by lawyers for the accused persons.

The lawyers of the accused had argued that their objections were grounded on the originality, authenticity, and relevance of the recordings, as well as breach of the accused persons’ right to privacy, reports citinewsroom.com. These reasons, however, were not enough to convince the court even as it ruled that the said recordings pass the admissibility test.

Also, the court, presided over by Justice Serwa Botwe, said that since the matter is in the public interest, relative to the seriousness of the charges, it was exercising its discretion under Article 18 of the Constitution, admitting the secretly recorded audio and videos.

 Ten persons, including three civilians, six military personnel, and a senior police officer, are facing charges of treason felony and conspiracy to commit treason felony in a case where they are alleged to have wanted to throw the country into a state of instability, destabilize the state and to topple the government.
