The Ghana Police Service’s Criminal Investigations Department has received a complaint from the People’s National Convention against Davaid Apasera, their 2020 presidential candidate, about a stolen SUV with the registration number GN 7506-20 and the chassis number JTMHUO1J704197708.
Petition to investigate DVLA and cause David Apasera’s arrest for fraud in relation to a Toyota Landcruiser vehicle (GN-7506-20, chassis number TMHUO1J704197708) is the name of the complaint.
The CID’s “intervention to cause the arrest of David Apasera for stealing a Toyota Landcruiser vehicle and changing the documentation of the vehicle to his name and also to investigate which DVLA office/official helped him to change the document to his name” was asked in a petition signed by General Secretary Janet Nabla.
The party said: “The vehicle was given to the party by Dr Edward Mahama and later was given to David Apasera to facilitate his presidential campaign of the 2020 general elections as the then-presidential candidate of the party”.
“At the end of the elections, he was supposed to return the vehicle back to the party, but he deliberately refused and the party lodged complaint with the Nima Police Station, the Greater Regional Police Command and also the National CID Headquarters”, the petition continued.
Later, the party, said “the vehicle was intercepted by the party and the Cantonments Police came in and took our statements”.
“Right in front of the Cantonments Police Commander Superintendent Priscilla Frimpong, David Apasera admitted receiving the car from the party through Dr Edward Mahama”, the letter said.
It continued: “The matter was transferred to the Attorney General’s office and later on we saw David Apasera driving the vehicle and when the party confronted the office of the Attorney General, we were told Apasera presented documents from DVLA in which the vehicle was registered in his name”.
“We quickly presented documents of the vehicle to the Attorney General demanding the immediate arrest of David Apasera and also the retrieval of the vehicle”.
“On the 16th of October, 2023, we received a response from the Attorney General that they have referred the case to the police for further investigations”.
“Three party officers were sent to the Attorney General’s office to verify which police station/office was this case referred to and the principal state attorney who wrote the letter said the Director General of the CID office”.

PETITION TO INVESTIGATE DVLA AND TO CAUSE THE ARREST OF DAVID APASERA FOR COMMITING FRAUD IN A CASE INVOLVING A TOYOTA LAND CRUISER
VEHICLE – GN-7506-20, CHASSIS NUMBER JTMHUO1J704197708
I refer to the above and humbly request your intervention to cause the arrest of David Apasera for stealing a Toyota Landcruiser vehicle and changing the documentation of the vehicle to his name and also to investigate which DVLA office/official helped him to change the document to his name.
The vehicle was given to the party by Dr Edward Mahama and later was given to David Apasera to facilitate his presidential campaign of the 2020 general elections as the then presidential candidate of the Party. At the end of the elections, he was supposed to return the vehicle back to the Party, but he deliberately refused and the party lodged complaint with the Nima Police Station, the Greater Regional Police Command and also the National CID Headquarters.
Later the vehicle was intercepted by the Party and the Cantonments Police came in and took our statements. Right in front of the Cantonments Police Commander Superintendent Priscilla Frimpong, David Apasera admitted receiving the car from the party through Dr Edward Mahama.
The matter was transferred to the Attorney General office and later on we saw David Apasera driving the vehicle and when the party confronted the office of the Attorney General, we were told Apasera presented documents from DVLA in which the vehicle was registered in his name. We quickly presented documents of the vehicle to the Attorney General demanding the immediate arrest of David Apasera and also the retrieval of the vehicle.
On the 16th of October, 2023 we received a response from the Attorney General (copy attached) that they have referred the case to the police for further investigations. Three party officers were sent to the Attorney General office to verify which police station/office was this case referred to and the principal state attorney who wrote the letter said the Director General of the CID office.
We are therefore writing this petition to the Director General of the CID to take this issue seriously and to allow the law to work. If an ordinary Ghanaian can go to prison for stealing foodstuff, then the same law should operate when a politician commits fraud.
We have attached copies of relevant documents on the vehicle and letters from the police and the attorney General office for your attention.
We reiterate that, David Apasera and Moses Daniba have been dismissed from the party since 2022 and are no longer members of the Peoples National Convention.
We anticipate your usual cooperation and professionalism.
PNC: Service with Honesty
Signed: Janet Asana Nabla
General Secretary
