The Member of Parliament for Hohoe, Thomas Worlanyo Tsekpo, has cautioned former MP John Peter Amewu against portraying Hohoe in a negative light, emphasizing that the constituency remains peaceful.
His remarks follow reports that unknown assailants stormed Amewu’s residence on Wednesday, March 5, with one allegedly posing as a court bailiff before gunshots were fired.
Speaking on Channel One Newsroom the same day, Tsekpo refuted claims that armed men attacked Amewu’s home, asserting that the visit was a routine court delegation.
He clarified that the group, which included a court bailiff and a security officer, had simply gone to post a court notice on Amewu’s wall, adding that no gunshots were fired.
Tsekpo accused Amewu of misrepresenting the situation to the media, suggesting it was a political maneuver.
“The former MP knows that the people of Hohoe, we have five traditional areas in Hohoe, we are a very peaceful people. That is why I said he should exercise patience when such things happen. You will think you are selling your party but you are giving Hohoe a bad name. I don’t think his life is in danger.
“We were in the constituency last two weeks together. He himself said in an interview that when he was the MP and a minister, he was driving alone, so he is safe,” he stated.
