National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, has allegedly been arrested by some plain-clothed security officers around Tesano.
He was arrested by men who introduced themselves as coming from the Criminal Investigations Department of the Ghana Police Service.
Eyewitnesses say he was making his way to his car after participating in a radio discussion on Accra-based Peace FM on Monday when the five officers believed to be from the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) ambushed him with an arrest warrant.
He was taken away in a white pick-up vehicle with registration number VR 4870 – 12 and is believed to be at the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Police Headquarters.
Although the reason for the recent arrest is unknown, Mr. Gyamfi has been under investigation since December last year over alleged cybercrime offences.
He has been accused of forgery and publication of false information targeted at tarnishing the image of the Akufo-Addo government.
His last trip to the Police Headquarters in honor of an invitation on December 23, 2019, was rescheduled by the security service.
