ORAL team returns seized car belonging to former NPP Vice Chairman

The government’s Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) Team is reported to have returned the car of former New Patriotic Party (NPP) 3rd National Chairman, Michael Omari Wadie, which it had seized a few days earlier.

This occurred after the ORAL team discovered that the car was not government property, as had been alleged.

A video shared on the social media platform X, formerly Twitter, shows the car mounted on a tow truck, apparently being returned to its owner, who is both a politician and a businessman.

Omari Wadie recently accused the ORAL task force of wrongfully seizing his personal car and falsely claiming it was government property.

Speaking on Happy 98.9FM’s Epa Hoa Daben show with Bismark Brown, Omari Wadie explained that members of the ORAL team initially visited his residence to seize his vehicles but were unable to access his garage as the main gate was locked.

He revealed that the car in question, a Lexus, had been sent to a mechanic for repairs due to a fault. On Wednesday, January 22, he received a call from the mechanic, informing him that a team identifying themselves as members of the ORAL task force had arrived at the shop and seized the car.

Omari Wadie stated that he managed to speak with two members of the task force, who identified themselves as Adam and Alhaji Musa. According to them, the Lexus had been identified as a government vehicle, and they had been instructed to retrieve it. He was directed to report to the ORAL Committee or the National Security office at Blue Gate if he had any concerns.

He strongly refuted the claims, maintaining that the car is his personal property, purchased with his own money in 2016, with all necessary duties paid at the port. He added that the matter has been handed over to his lawyer and that legal action will be taken to address the issue.
