The Bureau of National Investigations has released the Managing Director of a quarry company, Marbles and Granites, who allegedly circulated photos of Mahindra vehicles, branded in National Democratic Congress (NDC) colours.
Sources close to the situation told Citi News that Dr. Edmund Ayo Ani was released on Sunday afternoon.
[contextly_sidebar id=”yKm4JuZjyvaOwbqrEhP8hKRVg6XQa5Fk”]Dr. Ani was picked up by the Police on Friday with two others and handed over to the BNI for their involvement in the circulation of photos of vehicles which were allegedly procured for the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), but were being re-branded to aid the NDC’s campaign ahead of the November elections.
Initial reports had indicated that the MD of Marbles and Granites Company, Dr. Edmund Ayo Ani, and two others, were picked up by the BNI on Friday, while they were at work.
But sources within the National Security clarified that the Police rather caused the arrest, following a complaint lodged by the National Security Advisor, Alhaji Baba Kamara.
According to the National Security Adviser, Alhaji Baba Kamara, who owns the land in which the cars were allegedly being sprayed, it was wrong for someone to take photos of his premises and circulate them.
Citi News understands that the Police later handed over the MD and the two to the BNI for further investigations.
It is unclear whether the two who were arrested together with Dr. Ani have also been released.
