NPP’s Alhaji Masawudu Warns: “I Will Shoot Anyone Who Invades My Home Without A Warrant

Third Vice National Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Alhaji Masawudu Osman, has sparked public outrage and political debate following a controversial warning that he would shoot intruders who attempt to enter his home without a court warrant under the pretext of a National Security operation.

His statement follows a high-profile incident involving 20 armed operatives from the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB), who attempted to arrest Assin South MP, Rev. John Ntim Fordjour, without presenting a bench warrant.

During a panel discussion on Original TV, Alhaji Masawudu strongly condemned the rising trend of home raids without judicial backing, referencing the April 9th attempted arrest of Rev. Fordjour.

“If I am at my house in East Legon and I see people entering my home without verbal notice or a court warrant, I will treat them as armed robbers. I will gun them down,” he declared.

He emphasized that Ghanaians must now take their personal security seriously, given the volatile political climate and what he describes as “lawless” actions by security forces.

“The country is not in a good state right now. People's homes are being ransacked — soon, lives will be lost,” he warned.

The attempted arrest of Rev. Ntim Fordjour followed his allegations that two aircraft that landed in Ghana in March 2025 were involved in drug trafficking and money laundering. The John Mahama-led administration has denied these claims and urged the MP to cooperate with investigations.

The operation was halted after Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin, along with other senior NPP figures, intervened at the MP’s residence, demanding the presence of a valid court-issued warrant.

When challenged by the show’s host about the legality of his remarks, Alhaji Masawudu responded bluntly:

“I can only channel my concerns through the appropriate quarters if I'm alive. What if I die? It could very well be that the people who invade your house are not even from National Security.”

His comments have triggered a heated national conversation on the limits of self-defense, the role of state security agencies, and the growing mistrust between political actors and law enforcement institutions.

Legal analysts, civil society groups, and security experts are expected to respond to Alhaji Masawudu’s comments, as the tension between political leadership and law enforcement agencies escalates ahead of Ghana’s crucial 2025 general elections.
