Mr Baffoe is said to have made the allegation in an interview on an Accra-based radio station, Hot 93.9FM, during a political talk show, ‘Dwene Ho Bio.’
He is said to have claimed that former President Mahama had met with Al Qaeda militants in an attempt to stage a coup in Ghana.
According to him, Mr Mahama was in contact with the group to help him undertake a coup to become President again.
The suspect was responding to issues leading to the arrest of convenor of the #FixTheCountry Movement, Oliver Barker-Vormawor, who had also made claims of staging a coup should the controversial E-Levy be passed by parliament.
