The late MP for Bawku Central Adamu Dramani Sakande was on 27 July 2012 sentenced to two years in prison by a high court after being found guilty of false declaration of office, perjury and deceiving a public officer.
In 2008 he was elected to represent his people as the MP for Bawku Central in the fifth parliament of the Fourth Republic, winning the seat back from the NDC’s Mahama Ayariga and following in the footsteps of the legendary Hawa Yakubu Ogede.

He was callously betrayed by his own kinsmen and accused of not being a Ghanaian, because he was the holder of a British passport that was about to expire. The sole objective of the campaign waged against him was to deprive him of the parliamentary seat he had competed for and won so fairly.
In a case that stretched the definitions of Ghanaian nationality beyond recognition, Adamu was dragged to court and convicted.
A cattle farmer sued the MP, accusing him of violating the electoral laws of by contesting the Bawku Central Constituency Parliamentary seat whilst still a British citizen.
The state took interest in the case and filed nine counts relating to his nationality, perjury, forgery of passport, election fraud and deceiving public officers to be elected as an MP against Mr Dramani.
He was however exonerated on six of those charges on July 8, 2010, leaving with three charges of false declaration of office, perjury and deceiving a public officer.
