The General Secretary of the People’s National Convention (PNC), Mr Bernard Mornah, says he has for the past three months received telephone calls threatening to end his life.

“The people threaten and tell me that they have been hired to deal with me,because they claim I am a threat to some people,” he alledged.
He said the callers even went to the extent of narrating series of events in his life including trips that they had undertaken outside the country just to let him (Mr Mornah) know that they were tracking him.
“I went to the Criminal and Investigations Department of the Police Headquarters to report the issue and almost three months down the line, I am yet to know what they have done about it”, he said.
Mr Mornah made this known to the Daily Graphic in a telephone interview over an alleged robbery at his residence at Tantra Hill last Saturday evening.
The robbery, he said was the fourth in a series since 2008.
According to him, his wife and son returned home from a journey on Saturday evening only to realise that “our television and sound system has been taken, drawers has been ransacked, the bedroom was ransacked and even my books had been scattered”.
“My wife immediately called to inform me about it and I, in turn, called the police on their operation number, 18555 to inform them.”

“They called my wife and told her their patrol team was not readily available so she had to walk to the nearest Goil Filling Station to inform the police stationed there for help before other police personnel came,” he said.
Mr Mornah said later his wife made a formal complaint at the Mile 7 Police Station.
According to Mornah “ the police did not show interest in the matter and this is the fourth time, at the same residence, that we have been attacked”.
He recalled a similar incident which happened to him in 2008.
“I reported to the police and what they could do, at best, was to ask me to get a camera, take pictures and bring to them so they could work on the doors that were broken, and that was the end of the matter,” he said.
Mr Mornah, therefore, expressed his dismay about the slow pace at which the police were dealing with the issue, particularly when he had narrated the series of events to them saying, “Its taking too much time and its terrifying”.
