Philippa Baafi, a gospel songstress, is the latest victim of life threatening text messages being employed by undercover assailants to intimidate political opponents.The artiste, who has been on the campaign trail of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) since the heat of 2008 general elections, has been asked to end her flirt with the NPP or risk either being shot or having her triplet abducted.Her husband, Kwame Karikari, told Citi FM she received the first message yesterday at about 6:30pm.“The next time you perform for the NPP on stage we will shoot you for the stomach musician to learn a lesson; if you dare tell the media we will kidnap your triplet,” the text message read.The faceless agent also boasted to the family how it is bent on executing the task and warned them not to dare attempt to bring in the police.“We are too close to miss, the police can’t protect you, forget them; even if we are arrested you would be shot,” he recounted.Mr. Karikari said her wife has been working as a “professional musician” in that her hit song “Go high” was not sang originally to boost the chances of Nana Akufo-Addo or the NPP as perceived by a session of the public.The song was composed in July 2007 and Nana Akufo-Addo’s campaign was licensed in August this year to use the song only for the election period.He said the musician is ready to sell any of her songs to anyone interested.Philipa Baafi also explained that initially she was “more scared”, and but having been taken through some psychological counseling, she was no longer afraid because God is on her side.She was grateful to the police “for doing their best and putting the situation under control”.Story by Isaac Essel
