Businessman
and Director of Marbles and Granites Dr. Edmund Ayo Ani has been freed
by the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI).
It’s unclear the
conditions under which the BNI let him go, but his lawyers had been
pushing for this all weekend. National Security Coordinator Baba Kamara
had accused him of circulating information on social media that he has
diverted vehicles meant for the NCCE to the NDC.
The said
vehicles, numbering about 50, were re-branded at a facility belonging to
Baba Kamara on the Spintex Road, next to the premises of Marbles and
Granites. According to the BNI, the angles from which the pictures were
taken indicate there were taken from the office of the Director of
Marbles and Granites.
The National security advisor has confirmed
to Joynews he ordered the arrest. He alleged it was not right for Dr.
Ayo to take pictures of vehicles in the facility and post them on social
media.
But Senior Law Lecturer at the Ghana Law School Opoku
Agyemang maintained that the act by the national security advisor is
blatant abuse of power.
Meanwhile, Joynews is also
learning Mr. Ayo Ani has told the BNI that he did not take those
pictures but one Reginald Randoph who is said to be the in-law of NPP
presidential candidate, Nana Akufo Addo did that.
The BNI is also holding a Chinese Consultant of Marbles and Granites who was with Dr. Ayo when he was arrested. |
