They Warned Me Not To Talk About The President- Bongo Ideas Finally Speaks Up
Notorious cyberbully, Bongo Ideas has shared his harrowing experience of being abducted and held in custody by the national security authorities in an interview with DW, an international media organization.
He recounted being taken into custody in the early hours of March 14, 2024, by men who identified themselves as police officers.
Bongo Ideas described how he was threatened at gunpoint and subjected to mistreatment. He also mentioned receiving a warning to refrain from discussing any matters related to the president.
“On 14th March 2024 around 3 am some men masquerading as policemen entered my room and dragged me out. I was threatened to be killed where pistols were pointed to my head and I was told to say my last prayers. They beat me up and all and they warned me never to speak about the president,” he told DW News.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Police Service and National Security Ministry have denied knowledge of this attack on Bongo Ideas.
The press release issued by the police contradicts the statement made by Bongo Ideas, also known as Albert Nat Hyde, who claimed to have been kidnapped by men in uniform suspected to be from the national security department.
According to the police, their investigation showed that Hyde was actually at home when rumors started circulating about his arrest and assault.
“The attention of the Ghana Police Service has been drawn to Social Media reports that one Albert Nat Hyde a.k.a. BongoIdeas has been arrested by the Police. The Ghana Police Service has not arrested the said individual,” a statement dated March 15 indicated.
“The Police has contacted a relative who has confirmed that BongoIdeas is at home” the post of Facebook added.
