Kwaku Ohene Gyan, widely known as Osonoba and a former Deputy Director of Operations at the National Service Authority (NSA), has reportedly been detained by the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB).

Sources reveal that he was taken into custody on Saturday evening and is currently being held at the NIB’s facility in Kawukudi.

The reason for his detention has not yet been disclosed. However, his legal representatives are scheduled to meet with him tomorrow to discuss the situation and explore legal avenues for his release. It remains uncertain whether his arrest is connected to the recent scandal involving the NSA.

In a separate development, Prof. Christopher Ameyaw-Akumfi, the former Chairman of the Public Procurement Authority (PPA) Board, has been released from NIB custody following a brief detention. His arrest was reportedly tied to an investigation into financial dealings during his tenure as Board Chairman of the Ghana Infrastructural Investment Fund (GIIF).

The release was confirmed by his lawyer, Ken Kuranchie, who shed light on the circumstances leading to his client’s detention. “Prof Ameyaw-Akumfi was at his home Sunday morning when a group of men in three pickups arrived and informed him that he was needed at the NIB,” Kuranchie explained.

Prof. Ameyaw-Akumfi was held at the NIB’s Kawukudi offices near Nima in the Greater Accra Region as part of the ongoing investigation before being granted release.
