He is alleged to have offered some assistance to the alleged lead coup plotter Dr Frederick Yao Mac-Palm and some eight other suspects including military officers, who have also been charged with treason.
Dr Agordzo and another top police chief COP Nathan Kofi Boakye have been questioned in connection with the matter.
