The Chief Executive Officer of Accra based private radio station Citi FM, Samuel Attah-Mensah has been invited by the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) for questioning.<\/p>\n
Mr. Attah-Mensah\u2019s invitation is believed to be in connection with a publication by citifmonline.com about the arrest of a suspected cocaine courier who supposedly carried a diplomatic passport.<\/p>\n
He was invited by the state investigative body on Monday.<\/p>\n
The publication suggested a Ghanaian woman had been arrested by security operatives at the Heathrow Airport in London for possessing cocaine weighing 12kg.<\/p>\n
The 32-year-old lady whose name was given as Nayeli Ametefeh holds a Ghanaian passport and an Austrian citizenship.<\/p>\n
Her Ghanaian passport number is G0364497 while her Austrian passport number is\u00a0P4187659.<\/p>\n
She was busted in London even though she went through immigration procedures at the Kotoka International Airport in Accra.<\/p>\n
Government has since denied that the lady possessed a Ghanaian diplomatic passport.<\/p>\n
They also denied she is called Ruby Adu Gyamfi as the news earlier suggested.<\/p>\n
Citifmonline.com got confirmation of the arrest from the Home Office in the UK before going ahead with the publication.<\/p>\n
It is unclear how long Samuel Attah-Mensah who is also the Vice President of the Ghana Independent Broadcasters Association (GIBA<\/strong><\/em>) will be in the custody of the BNI.<\/p>\n Meanwhile his lawyer, Nii Apatu Plange was not allowed to join him for the interrogation.<\/p>\n He is still at the premises of the BNI hoping to be allowed in.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n By: Umaru Sanda Amadu\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Chief Executive Officer of Accra based private radio station Citi FM, Samuel Attah-Mensah has been invited by the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) for questioning.
