*BNI Operatives, Jonathan Kpongo & Maxwell Mensah led abortive operation

It has emerged from Today's discreet investigations that attempts by the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) to assess the degree of damage caused to former President's Kufuor's official residence as a result of last week's heavy downpour in Accra, was only a cover-up for a major operation that the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) intended to undertake on behalf of the National Security at the former President's house.

The exercise was expected to be executed by one Jonathan Kpongo and Maxwell Mensah, all operatives of the National Security, but who travelled with the NADMO, and posited as staff members of the Organization, with support from other colleague security assigns, secretly planted in State and other private media organizations by the National Security.

A top security source disclosed that that was the reason why certain particular media houses were invited to cover the exercise. The former First Lady, Mrs. Theresa Kufuor and personal body guards of the former President however managed to ward off the operatives who travelled under the guise as staff members of NADMO.

The former First Lady, the paper gathered became alarmed because she wondered why the NADAMO team that was intended to assess the broken wall of her husband's house should bring along the media to cover the exercise.

Investigations have shown that the NADMO team included BNI agents and was to operationally record all major facilities in Mr. Kufuor's house and determine which of them were fixed and sponsored by the State during his two-term presidency.

The paper further garnered from intelligence sources that government is determined to retrieve all State security devices that were fixed at the residence of the former President during the period he served as President of Ghana.

Many security gadgets were fixed at then President Kufuor's personal residence when he decided not to use the Castle as his official home

The special operation also included the retrieval of a special Siemens recording device that had been planted at the home of the former President by agents of the BNI.

Our intelligence sorties have uncovered that following the disclosure made by Today on the issue, the National Security has embarked on a special exercise to retrieve all the Siemens recording tapes.

The security agents in the media houses are often armed with a special minute, deep-black Siemens tape recorder which they place at strategic positions during assignments for secret tapping. The device has the capacity of recording for a considerable number of days, depending on the power (battery) capacity of recording for 24 hours.

The device can pick up conversation and discussions within a 100 metre radius. The security agency then access information on the device by phoning into the Siemens recorder quietly without being noticed because it does not make any loud noise.

The paper discovered that the device was used to exclusively record NPP functionaries and played by pro-NDC radio stations in the run-up to the December 2008 elections. The agents were also behind the recent seizure of vehicles of former government officials.

They reported the movements of these officials to the security agency, who intend track them to pick from them vehicles they suspect belong to the State.
