Leader of assault on police officer at Flagstaff House hiding: Baako

Mr Baako also revealed the identity of the man as a former police officer who was dismissed from the service at the instance of ASP Nanka Bruce.

"He was a former policeman himself so they know him, they are looking for him to apprehend him and his guys who supported him and continue with investigations,” he said on Joy FM's Newsfile Saturday.

Last week, a leaked video of the attack generated criticism, causing the detention of a military officer at the Flagstaff House.

ASP Bruce is said to have been on duty at the Flagstaff House when the assault on him took place on January 9th, the first Monday after President Akufo-Addo's inauguration ceremony.

Following the attack, ASP Bruce filed a complaint with the CID and later withdrew it saying he wanted unity and peace in the country, Mr Baako revealed.

According to him, despite the withdrawal of the case, the police CID is still pursuing the case.

Mr Baako condemned the attack on ASP Bruce describing it as lawless. “No matter the provocation, it was lawless and what is more to perpetuate that act at the presidency.”
