On the recording, a voice believed to Ofosu Ampofo's is heard urging people to take the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Jean Mensa to the 'cleaners'. The voice also endorsed verbal attacks on the National Peace Council Chairman, Reverend Emmanuel Asante.
The audiotape also suggests that abductions and kidnappings could be used to silence political opponents.
He said: "We’re going to take [the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission] to the cleaners."
"As for the EC Chair, we must wage a relentless war on this EC Chair. Me, she doesn’t want to see my face," Ofosu-Ampofo is alleged to have said.

Ofosu-Ampofo and two other executive members of the NDC – National Communications Officer Sammy Gyamfi and his deputy, Kwaku Boahen – were initially charged with conspiracy to commit a crime, to wit, kidnapping, and the threat of harm.
