President did not sanction the reported attack on former Minister of Energy, , the Member of Parliament for Hohoe constituency, Thomas Worlanyo Tsekpo, has said.

Describing such media reports as derisory, the MP insisted that such spurious allegations could only be coming from the camp of the opposition. "It is fair to say that President Mahama does not have such powers under the constitution to dictate to the courts and security agencies how they go about their business," Worlanyo Tsekpo said.

The Hohoe MP made these remarks on Channel One TV, on Wednesday, March 5, 2025, while responding to media reports that suggested that the alleged gun attack on 's residence on Tuesday was directed by the president.

Worlanyo Tsekpo further clarified that court bailiffs had visited the premises of the former minister to serve a process on him in a pending case at the Ho High Court in the Volta Region.
