A Ghanaian presenter has alleged that Odugba Benson, the leader of the popular Nigerian group, Great Men Progressive Club built a police station in his residential Greda Estate in other to hide his criminal activities.

Kweku Annan in a recent edition of his show (The Seat) on Thursday, June 24, 2021, said, Mr. Benson also built a police post in the area to carry out his nefarious activities.

In a video that has since gone viral, a supposed journalist, whose identity remains unknown is seen to have scouted the area and spoke to some residents who further corroborated the claims made by the presenter. The journalist and interviewees spoke in Ghana's Twi language.

"Yeah, a notorious criminal has built the police station. Oh I know him, they nearly killed me for sacrifice. They operate in a group, and they send criminals into the country.

"The man himself is not here, but he has criminals that he sends into the country. Even if they arrest their own people, they end up releasing them. Is this a police station? One of the top police officers in the country said the station was built by SSNIT but that's a blatant lie," one of the sources revealed.

"There are some things we need to put to a stop in the country. The Ghanaian police should be very alert," another source cautioned the Ghanaian police.

Prior to his latest outburst, Mr. Annan had already labeled Nigerians as criminals and notorious arms robbers, alleging that Nigerians living in Dome-Kwabenya, another suburb of Accra are into criminal activities including fraud, ritual killings and bribery.

In a swift reaction, the Ghana chapter of the Nigerian In Diaspora Organization (NIDO), the body responsible for championing and protecting the cause of Nigerians in the diaspora condemned and demanded a retraction over allegations and accusations made by Ghanaian media personality.

Secretary of NIDO, Reverend Tony White in a press statement said that "such utterances are capable of causing untold pain, agony as well as apprehension to the law-abiding Nigerians living in Ghana while turning Ghanaian brothers against Nigerians."
