Professor Christopher Ameyaw-Akumfi, the former Chairman of the Public Procurement Authority (PPA) Board, has been detained by the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) at its Kawukudi offices near Nima in the Greater Accra Region.

The reasons behind his detention remain undisclosed, as authorities have yet to issue an official statement clarifying the circumstances, according to reports.

Professor Ameyaw-Akumfi, who also served as Ghana’s Minister of Education, was reportedly apprehended by NIB operatives. His legal team has since mobilized, taking immediate steps to secure his release.

Lawyers representing the former PPA Board Chair are actively engaging with NIB officials to determine the grounds for his arrest and ensure that his rights are upheld.

Currently, his legal representatives are stationed at the NIB headquarters, pushing for bail as they navigate the legal channels necessary for his release.
